Not one dent or crater.  With six gorgeous 26 year old girls jumping in the car, dents were the last thing on my mind.  Had way too much fun that day.

Keep up, there...!

Actually, I find this sort of thing utterly debasing. It's a shocking abuse of their kind. Wholly wrong, and typical of a certain view point. As someone struggling to re-fit a newly re-chromed grille, no one should ever let the average lady sit on the body work, and especially not near the chrome! Waifs are ok though, it turns out. The fewer the clothes, the lower the all up weight and thus the less likely to cause lasting damage. So, on that basis, semi-clad models are about the limit. 

Drive safe, folks.

PS - Rivalbfo, do a quick search for "certain picture" and almost everything will be revealed... .

Hi Rolf,
for an unknown reason it seems that you targeted me as the demiurge of this thread, but let's forget James, the inception father ;D.
My reputation as one of those European chauvinistic pigs was already reported to me by some of the more subtle and gender sensitive members. So be it...

Coming back to your last post: my analysis is that we have here a late European model, although the upholstery seems a bit tired... ;)

Not targeting you at all Stan just sharing something I found. I know James was the founding father of this thread, my brain recalled your name first must have been that nice Centre Fold in PW  ;D

Rolf,
I am sure that centre-fold part of PW is still closely contemplated by many ;D
and for various reasons, I bet...

I would call this pic "Rhapsody in Blue" ;)
Sadly, that person obscures the view of the beauty, but - to her discharge - I noticed that the top matches the paint almost perfectly ;D

Rolf,

Stan, that looks like a 1968 (I may have looked at blondes with this hairstyle, after all I was already married 7 years at that time, you know what they say about the 7 year itch  ;D). Anyway we are allowed to look as long as we don't touch ... I'm still married to the same fine Lady ... The years do fly by.

Rolf

Blond fräulein can be misleading ;D

I think that it is an earlier year, something around 1963 or 1964. I derive that from the turn indicators' shape that from 1965 were more square on edges. The chromed headlight rings prove that it is the De Luxe or S version. Moreover, the car in the background on the right side is a 600 Kombi (previous model with rounded edges), which points to the year 1963, the only year both models were together in production.

By the way, Trabant 601 was one of the cars with the longest production time (from 1963 to 1991) with 2,818,547 units built with basically the same body and very few refinements.
