automobile



I was intrigued by the old car used for Odessa Heritage Tours. It is an Eastern European make and the styling makes it appear to be a model from the sixties. I noticed a stylized S on the grill. Perhaps it was a Skoda? Can anyone positively identify the year, make and model?

Thank you for the information. I went to the site and discovered that the vehicle used in EII was in fact an East German made Trabant, model P601 Universal. The S on the grill stood for the maker, Sachenring, not Skoda as I had thought. I like tracking down unusual automobiles that appear in films. Once again, thank you.

This page identifies many of the cars seen in the film, including the Trabant in question (scroll down to see the thumbnail pix, then click on them to expand):

Dear ZolotoyRetriever,

Thank you so much for the answer. I mistook the car for a Skoda. I have added imcdb to my Favourites list. Your help is appreciated.

Best Regards,
