For one point, please respond and identify this car.

1958 IFA p70 trabant?

Well, basically it is a AWZ P70 (not an IFA or Trabant), but that is only part of the answer.
Locked for you to find out more.

was it the 1956 awz p70 Zwickau instead?

Wendax · « **Reply #6 on:** December 09, 2014, 04:50:21 AM »

The AWZ P70 (AWZ = Automobil-Werke Zwickau) is also known as the AWZ P70 Zwickau, but that is not what I am looking for. The car is from 1958, as you guessed before, but it is not an ordinary P70.

Still locked.

did it use a different body shell material or frame than usual,such as wood perhaps?

Wendax · « **Reply #8 on:** December 09, 2014, 05:48:37 AM »

No.

Still locked for one more try.

AWZ P70-based car built in another country than East Germany ?

Wendax · « **Reply #13 on:** December 16, 2014, 02:43:25 AM »

No, it was built in East Germany.

Built by another "brand" than AWZ ?

Prototype for an updated AWZ P70 ?

Wendax · « **Reply #17 on:** December 16, 2014, 03:03:58 AM »

Yes, locked for you to name the main difference to the usual P70.

oko94 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 16, 2014, 03:44:07 AM »

This one was built on a Wartburg 311 basis in 1958.

Wendax · « **Reply #19 on:** December 16, 2014, 04:03:50 AM »

Yes, one of three P70-900 prototypes that combined the P70 body with Wartburg mechanics. A characteristic detail is the fuel filler cap at the rear window, while the P70 fuel tank was usually at the front.

Well done, one more point for you.
