Photo of the day - Tatra!

[tbutler]

Early-model Tatra T-11 convertible at the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville.

Tatra is a Czech company that started making cars under the Tatra name in the 1920s; this car is around that vintage. It was later known for streamlined, rear-engine air-cooled cars that arguably inspired the VW Beetle; after WW II, it became a primary luxury-car maker for the Communist elite across Eastern Europe, even ending up in Cuba. I'll post photos of some of the other models at the Lane Museum if there's interest. :) Some of them are pretty funky.

Edit: Another pic of the T-11. Does the smaller size work better for you in browser windows?

Baton Rouge, yes, but I've only lived here for three and a half year. I've never been to Tennessee. If I ever get up to any of these places and have free time I'll try to remember to hit these, thanks!
