Wartburg 353



The Wartburg 353 was produced from 1965 to 1988, becoming the longest-produced Wartburg model ever. During its lifetime it saw several changes and improvements, the most notable of these coming in 1985 with a slight front facelift and a new one-step carburetor.
The Wartburg 353 was the creation of the former German BMW production facilities (called EMW under Soviet occupation). It was based on a 1938 chassis and powertrain, and used a two stroke engine with very few moving parts.
Internally it was used for government transportation; sometimes as a police car, consumer product often taking ten to fifteen years to deliver. (Wikipedia)
