June 8th, 2009 at 2:40 pmMy Dad’s first car was a Lloyd very much like the one in the photo, albeit with the correct engine and sans rust. The Lloyd’s engine was air-cooled, which meant that my parents could cross the Alps in that tiny car while the bigger cars with their water-cooled engines broke down by the roadside. That would have been sometime in the early 1960s.
Quite amazing that a Lloyd made it as far as Oregon, even though the condition is rather sad.
