The first Tatraplan prototype, the T1-107, was constructed on 25 March 1947 and the second one on 21 March 1947.
In fact in its time the Tatraplan had the lowest interior sound levels in Czechoslovakia, and on 10 randomly picked cars it had the lowest overall sound levels, (tested by VU heavy machinery, machinery testing department).
The Skoda-built Tatraplan is recognisable by the different engine cover with bigger split rear-windows and a more rounded tail (where as the Tatra-built Tatraplan has smaller split rear-windows and a pointed tail).

 TATRA
Mainly responsible for the construction of the Tatraplan, as well as the former V-8 engine car and the series "12" model of 1923 was Austrian engineer, Dr. Ledwinka of Vienna.
Another plus for the rear-engine Tatraplan is the claim that the air used both for the fuel-air mixture and for-the cooling of the entire engine is forced by the car's forward movement through, air ducts formed by the rear engine hood.
THE rear-engine construction shortens the front section of the body, resulting in a relatively short hood which houses only the gasoline tank, one spare tire and a small piece of luggage, while permitting a very good vision to the front and the side of the road ahead—definitely a big safety factor.

 Wheelspin: from the London VW Club, mad about Volkswagens
The Tatraplan was roughly the size of the T97 and its body shape and dimensions were largely based on the T97's with the stabilising fin reduced in size and the location of the air intakes changed.
A few other automobiles based on the Tatraplan were also built, notably the two-seaters T601 Tatraplan Monte Carlo (aluminium bodied) and the 180 km/h T602 Tatraplan-Sport and a convertible prepared by the Czech coachbuilder Sodomka.
At 2750mm, its wheelbase was similar to the Tatraplan's but its length was quite a bit greater and so there was a substantial amount of overhang at the ends.

Postwar, Tatras continued to be built; the factory was nationalised in 1946 after the Communist takeover.
In 1951, the state planning department decided that the Tatraplan should henceforth be built at the Skoda plant in Mladá Boleslav, leaving Tatra free to concentrate on trucks.
A mere three years later, amid much dissatisfaction among officialdom about the poor-quality official cars imported from Russia, Tatra was again given permission to produce a luxury car, the famous Tatra T603.
