Description
An AWZ P70 "Zwickau" as seen at the Moto Weteran Bazar Lodz Sept. 2013.
The title is 100% my fantasy, as the P70 is widely recognised (at least in the former Soviet/Eastern European block) as the predecessor of a Trabant 600/601, known as the "Honecker's revenge". Wilhelm Pieck was the President of German Democratic Republic in 1949-1960, so - similarly - it matches with te time of P70's manufacturing (1955-1959). Nothing else behind that.
Well, maybe there IS something else. In Poland we used to give some derogatory names to foreign cars from ex-Soviet block, starting from early-1950s YaTB-2 trolleybuses, nicknamed "Stalingrat" ("Stalin-junk", notice the similarity to Stalingrad city name), then "nosorożec" ("rhinoceros")for Zaporozhets ZAZ 968M (although this might be both for its name similarity and sturdiness, if not primitivity, of the construction); "Honeckerek" ("a tiny Honecker") for Wartburg 353W; "trampek" ("sneaker"[a shoe]) or "Ford Karton" ("Ford Cardboard") for Trabant 601 and so on.
I can recall at the moment only these nicknames. If any watcher recalls anything else, I'd be happy to include it here.
No photomanipulation involved, as I want to retain as much as I can from the original.

Na AWZ P70 popularnie mówiono Petka, o ile wiem, chociaż nie jest to zbyt wyrafinowana nazwa. Rzadkie auto dziś!
