If anyone is wondering what the heck is a Trabant... Built from 1957 through 1990 in East Germany, it received virtually no modification starting with 1963 "model year".
A good (and funny) read is in the link below. Here's an excerpt:

And an interesting fact: The new VW ID.3 electric car will be made in the same factory as the Trabants

The Trabant is a triumph of making something from nothing. They didn’t even have enough steel to build the bodies out of, so Trabant engineers developed what was the first large-scale application of recycling to solve this problem: they took cotton waste from the Soviet Union (think Breshnev’s old underpants) and phenol resins from the dye industry and used that to make Duroplast, the fiberglass-like stuff Trabant bodies were made from.
