The streamlined Steyr Typ 55 a modified Type 50 which was developed in 1935 by engineer/director Karl Jenschke (1899-1969). The official presentation followed in February 1936 at the IAMA in Berlin.
The Steyr 50 was designed according to the new streamlined ideas which became more and more popular in the first half of the 1930s. Jenschke knew streamline specialist Hans Ledwinka. Although one could expect that Ledwinka or Ferdinand Porsche were involved in the development of the Typ 50 is this not true.
The Steyr 50 was quite popular in its homeland Austria. It received there the name Steyr-Baby. In neighbor country Germany was very little interest for this small car.
Typ 50 was replaced by Typ 55 in Spring 1938. It had a stronger engine but had the same body and equipment.
Type 55 is easy to recognize by the ventilation openings in the wheel rims.

Ca. 815 kg.
