  SHOC Auto Trabant Sales
Trabis are starting to find a following as a classic, small, very simple minicar built in the East Germany for use by the communist common folk, despite having long been the butt of jokes and the sorry tales of communism.
Trabis are small, simple, air cooled cars, much like classic VW beetles, With front wheel drive, A-arm suspension, and all independent suspension, they were very modern when they were introduced in the 1960s.
Trabis were so desirable to eastern Europeans that there are still 800,000 of the original 3,000,000 on the road today.

 Trabant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name Trabant means "satellite" in German; the cars are often referred to as the Trabbi or Trabi, pronounced with a short a.
Since it could take years for Trabant to be delivered from the time it was ordered people who finally got one were very careful with it and usually achieved skill in maintaining and repairing it.
The Trabant's designers expected production to extend to 1967 at the latest, and East German designers and engineers created a series of more sophisticated prototypes through the years that were intended to replace the Trabi; several of these can be seen at the Dresden Transport Museum.

Peter Trimm's Go Trabi Go shows a family from Saxonny naively set out on their first foreign holiday driving over the Alps and into Italy, similar is Leander Hausmann's debut Sonnenalle during which the iconography and obsession with detail is incredible.
The Trabant car built in the GDR was the communist response to the need for an affordable car during the shortages that ensued after separation.
In recent poles 11% of former GDR residents believed that life before reunification was better, Ostalgie therefore, whilst not based on desire for the ideals of the East, manifests itself as an immerging commercial market for Germany on a domestic and international scale.
