I dig it! Looks like an 'updated take on retro' in my opinion, which is a nice design interpretation to see.

Production model should be based on those pictures.

Looks a little good to me. I was in Germany (Army) from 1973 to 1975. Those cars (bottom picture) were everywhere. Most of them had a decal of a 'duck' on the trunk lid

There were a lot of them in the former Yugoslavia too.
People loved them because they were so cheap and very simple to fix, it was like a French Model T.
The whole idea was to build a bucket on wheels that farmers could take from farms, through rough terrains, to city markets withouth damaging anything inside the car. And that's pretty much what buyers got - cheap and reliable (although very underpowered 9-12 hp) car.

This car, with basically no changes, was on sale from 1939 until 1991. Over 5 million were built.

This is the only prototype that survived; the other two were destroyed during WWII. This car was hidden in a barn on some farm during WWII.

I've seen much worse lately, and I actually like the 3/4 flank view.
