Those headlights look like pre '67 beetle items.

V8/V12 air cooled Tatra or V8 air cooled Deutz powered KAT1 MAN definitely are on the bucket list!

Always loved Tatras & great videos! If you can get hold of a copy, Ivan Margolius' book 'Tatra - The Legacy of Hans Ledwinka' is well worth reading. My favourites are the T77 & T87   |

I just killed an hour watching those & a few more, my god what a truck! I'm not much of a truck/mud kinda guy, but that sure kept my attention as I staff this nearly empty psychiatric ward. Great videos for those who really aren't doing anything at all today.

Great find on their truck website! I didn't realise that they were still using that backbone & swing arm differential system on their trucks - it originally dates to the 1920s!!! Whilst the final Tatra passenger cars were somewhat outclassed (but not as much as we realise - the last paragraph in this article says it all Road & Track Tatra review), in the '20s and '30s, they were amongst some of, if not the most advanced vehicles in the world. |

I would love to hear a Tatra V8 air-cooled engine in person. Would it be at least twice as beefy sounding as a flat-4 beetle engine?
Like the rotary engine, it was too far off the norm to become commonplace unfortunately :-<

Have 12 minutes of Tatra 603 advertising. The car just is full of Ooooph to look at.

Imagine if they hadn't been working in a totalitarian regime, they could have been one of today's major players. I don't think I've ever seen one in the wild. Shame. accord83 that ad is brilliant, thanks for posting it. 😀 |

Saw one of these at a car museum in South Africa, to be honest I didn't really know what it was at the time, but it was a funky looking thing.  |

Have another shot of it, I imagine they're a pretty rare car now, wiki says only 508 produced back in the 30s.  |
