We’re traveling back to East Germany in 1984, 1985 and 1986. The pictures below were taken in Berlin, in Leipzig and in Suhl. There are a lot of Trabants, Wartburgs and Ladas but take a closer look, there are a few surprises hidden in the mix.
What car(s) and truck(s) can you identify in the following images? What one(s) would you most like to have in your garage? We’d pick one of the Wartburgs, but we’d also be tempted by the Barkas visible in the eighth photo.
All pictures courtesy of Germany’s Bundesarchiv.

Various Trabant, Fiat 124 (probably the russian version Lada), some Wartburg…
Ninth photo down. The car next to the Trabant is a Škoda 100. The one behind that looks like a Moskvich 408.
