Wooster Street Trabant
| Title | Wooster Street Trabant |
|---|---|
| Description | What appears to be a Trabant attempting to speed down Wooster Street in Bowling Green, Ohio. The engine actually sounded very impressive for going at such a moderate speed. I'm not sure if this is an auto enthusiast making a night stop or someone who desperately needed a car, and didn't mind using an East German relic that’s 63 to 29 years old. A lot of people are hard on their luck right now so it wouldn’t surprise me. Before COVID-19 the weirdest cars I saw regularly were a DMC DeLorean in Bowling Green (Would have been manufactured around 1981-1982) and a possibly non functional electric Comuta Car in Toledo (Would have been manufactured around 1979-1982) Addendum: August 6th, 2020 A news article was written about this subject on August 4th, 2020. https://bgindependentmedia.org/graduate-student-finds-joy-in-automotive-relic-from-behind-the-iron-curtain/ https://web.archive.org/web/20200806111817/https://bgindependentmedia.org/graduate-student-finds-joy-in-automotive-relic-from-behind-the-iron-curtain/ |
