Tatra 75

The Tatra 75 is a Czechoslovak mid-size car that Tatra introduced in 1933 as the successor to the Tatra 54, and it was the last front engined car the company built. Its front mounted 1,688 cc air-cooled overhead valve boxer engine produced 30 PS (22 kW), giving a top speed of 90 km/h, and like other Tatras of the period it had a four speed gearbox and rear wheel drive. Designers paid attention to weight, using light alloy for the cylinder head castings. Bodies included two and four door sedans, convertibles and a six seat limousine on a longer wheelbase. In a nine year production run 4,501 Tatra 75s were built, and Bohemia made three Sport roadsters on the same chassis. In 1947 the model was belatedly replaced by the very different Tatra 600.
