In 1971, the Joint Economic Committee of the GDR and CSSR agreed to jointly develop a car of the lower middle class. The so-called RGW car (RGW stands for "Council for Mutual Economic Assistance", an organization of the former Eastern Bloc countries) should replace the DDR models Wartburg 353 and Trabant 601 and the Czechoslovak vehicle type Skoda 100. Here is the RGW car from 1973 in the Skoda version with a body by the Italian design office Giugiaro.
