Replacement bodies: yes,
for IFA F8/F9: no.

Locked for you to name where the bodies were produced.

Since the Dresden factory was located in the middle of the city, it can only be the factory in Radeberg, Oberstraße. This also explains the provisional chassis: transport from the production hall to the storage area.

Yes, those were replacement bodies for Wartburg 312, built in 1968 when the 353 was already two years in production, but demand was always higher than the available number of cars, so offering replacement bodies made sense.

Thank you for the point and the insight into the background of the GDR economy.

So those bodies were sold to owners of Wartburg 312 to replace their old ones?
