1960 Skoda Octavia

The pride of the Czech Republic since 1925, more than one million Skoda vehicles are sold worldwide every year. They've never been sold in the US, and this is the first one I've ever seen here. The Vermont license plate makes me suspect it was originally sold in Canada, although a lot of interesting European cars were brought back by G.I.s during the Cold War. The engine in this car is just over 1-liter in displacement and it has about 50 horsepower. Not much, but more than a Volkswagen from the same era.
