 A nice photo of a lesser known Tatra, a 57B of 1940. It made us think of the sheet shakers, a photographic 'pre-adobe photoshop' trick to add a neutral background to a car photo. Mocci Demartis, collector from Sardinia - mentions not only the rarity of the car. This one was used by the germans as a personel car in WWII (in military 'grau' of course) and later was kept in the Resistance Museum of Prague. Mocci claims that the forced air cooling system of the post-war Porsches was copied from this Tatra (editor: we found no proof for that...). Based on the colour of the wheels and upholstery the car was restored in burgundy over black. (photos Mocci Demartis) |
