wow pretty radical for 1930's (1937 below). Looks like they were produced up into the 70's, I confess I'd never heard of them.

Without question an enduring design. Look at how may years they remained relatively unchanged.
And who hasn't helped a buddy change the motor in one of these babies. 4 bolts and she's out.
And hey who says the beetle is a dinosaur

Your right (attached is the Tatra 1933 V570) It seems Ferdinand Porsche was involved in the first designs as well.
