It's May 1950 in Germany and the wreckage of the Second World War is finally cleared away and Germany's auto industry is struggling back to its feet. Auto-Union has established itself in West Germany in Ingolstadt, but doesn't yet have a car on the market. Baur carosserie steps in and offers a new steel body for your old prewar DKW. Borgward in Hamburg finally gets a car on the market - the entirely wooden-bodied Lloyd LP300. It's a rough and ready car but its a start. A new company, Champion, appears and offers the Champion 400 microcar. The two-seater cabriolet is handsome and sporty and reminiscent of Jozef Ganz' prewar 'Maikafer.' German race champion, Petermax Muller, is making his name on the racing scene with his customized Volkswagen racer.
