Comrade Trabi was born in May*, 1968 and had the factory rebuild done in 1987.
After spending some time in Czechoslovakia, our valiant comrade emigrated to Chicago, the home of the Haymarket affair** and adopted Keri, his current Human Comrade.

Naturally, as upstanding socialist automobiles, all Trabants everywhere face Chicago on May Day each year, a phenomenon that puzzles parking lot attendants and Trabant-spotters worldwide.
