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.

* May, the month of May Day!

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.

- Description:
- A Bluetooth speaker under the seat and pretty blinking LED strip lights around the perimeter of the roof provide Comrade Trabi's In Car Entertainment, as do many of his Human occupants. For special occasions, an air horn blows an alternating triple note. Eventually Comrade Trabi is bound to figure out how to play L'internationale on it...
