Contest Directions: 
Trabant celebrates its 50th anniversary today. On November 8, 1957
East German auto maker Sachsenring AG started producing Trabant cars.
Despite the poor performance and smokey engine the car was designed as an
"affordable car for all" and as a socialist reply to the expensive
West German cars. It had a steel carcass, but the roof,
bonnet, bootlid and doors were made of plastic - which made the car
light, while it was reasonably fast and could fit 5 adults. It was
destined to become one of the symbols of Western Germany and had been
manufactured for over 30 years (till 1991) without major changes.
While Trabant is no longer produced, there are over 120 Trabant clubs
in the world. The name Trabant means "fellow traveler" in German, but
many people still call it "Trabi" with love and nostalgia.
Photoshop Trabant (any models) any way you like. Some examples are: giving Trabant a facelift designing a modern model, or merging it with other cars; including Trabant in the old paintings; designing the advertisement poster or billboard for Trabant.
