Tatras were manufactured in Czechoslovakia and were respected for their high quality and innovative engineering. According to the Portland Art Museum display:

“The car’s relatively short front end was combined with an arched roofline that gracefully sloped into a long fastback tail. With integrated fenders and a full undertray (belly pan), wind resistance was dramatically reduced, and the relatively modest power plant was able to achieve excellent performance and low fuel consumption. The prominent rear dorsal find ensured high-speed stability.”

The center headlamp turned with the steering. It was powered by a 3.4-liter V-8 engine. Only 167 cars of this model were sold.
