37. 1957 Trabant P50
The P50 is often seen as a symbol of East German life. It has a design that aimed high – plastic body, transverse-mounted engine, front-wheel drive. However, the two-stroke engine meant drivers had to add oil directly to the fuel tank and the resulting pollution probably clouds the skies over Berlin to this day. Coupled with a cramped, uncomfortable interior and a bone-shaking minimalist approach to shocks, the P50, like communism, is best left in the dustbin of history.
