The only Trabant in the collection (so far). Sunnyside # SS4726 Trabant kombi (wagon) (black w/ black int) Doors open, amber tail lights. Rear tag: "DDR 1989" rear friction wheels Baseplate: "S" (logo) / "Made in China / SS4726 / Sunnyside Guangxhou / MFG 07/20/2009 / BATCH 0900805" Edit: forgot to mention this has a real nice feel (size and texture) in the hand. Feels like quality. Nicely done. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by atombaum, Jul 27 2017, 04:51 PM.

Interesting. I hava a couple of Sunnyside Trabant Sedans from my childhood, they were sold here in the early 90's, but I have not seen the Kombi before. The scale is close to 1/32 I think |

Probably right on the scale. Need to measure it and compare to actual dimensions. It seems to be an odd scale. |

Ripa's right. Pretty dang close to 1/32. Dimensions in diagram are in mm. The model length is 120 mm. Comes to 0.034 or close enuf to 1/32. ![]()

I found this and a red two-door sedan at Rite Aid just a few years ago (2013?); had to buy them because I'd never seen Trabants in this country in any scale, even though they have nothing to do with my "emergency vehicle" collection: One Of Every Maker by b2young I still have a few makers up my proverbial sleeve.....just busy days trying to enjoy the waning days of summer.... For instance: ![]() Found at Rite-Aid a few years back, these pull-back cars are NOT from the 'usual suspects' (Kinsmart and it's ilk). ![]() They're Trabants (unusual enough on that note, for USA market); feature opening doors. License plates announce country-of-origin for the 1:1--DDR, or East Germany as we knew it. ![]() Logo is that stylized "S" with the fast-speed-motion wind-ripples....which, based on the sticker, represents "Superior" as the maker. At least, that's MY take on it..... (unless the "S" logo on the hood/bonnet represents a Trabant model called "Superior"......) Posted Sep 6 2015, 12:37 PM in A To Z Small Scale Toy Cars Thanks for the info on the actual maker (Sunnyside); as you can see, I had no clue and presumed the "Superior" on the paper label might have been the maker. However, what does the stylized "S" on the hood/bonnet mean? Edited by b2young, Aug 3 2017, 02:44 PM.

Here are my sedans from my childhood. I know I have a third one too which is green, but I just couldn't locate it at the moment. They are obtained in around 1995. The white one has a price tag of 9,80mk in the bottom, which equals around two bucks at todays currencies. ![]() |
