Socialist Wheels in Lübbenau

We stumbled upon a classic car rally in Lübbenau, Spreewald over the weekend. There were lots of interesting old Opels, Mercs, and a few Citroëns...but the most of the participants brought classic Eastern Bloc iron.

Unexpected car show in Lübbenau.

Greta and Emery check out a pair of Wartburg 311's.

Eisenacher Badge

1950's Trabant P50

Tatra 603, widely considered the finest of Communist cars.

A real conversation piece; the DDR continued to produce

pre-war BMWs in oneof the company's former factories --

calling them EMW and adding

a splash of socialist red to the familiar logo.
