This is the Praga Baby. Conceived as an economy car, contstruction was nevertheless of high quality, like the make's other luxury cars. The two-door version looked a bit similiar to its close rival, the Tatra 57A, equally inventive. The engine was the same as used in the Piccolo (1 litre 4 cyl.), but the Baby featured a modern chassis composed of two C-shaped components and was very 'flexible', fit for a smooth ride on the rouhg roads in Czechoslovakia. A movie about this car was made, starring Lída Baarová, a famous Czech actress.

This photo shows various body styles of the Czech-built Praga Baby, produced from 1934 to 1936. The car used an inline 4-cylinder engine of 996cc, and featured an all-syncromesh 4-speed gearbox plus all-independent suspension. It was voted the most elegant small car at the 1934 Berlin Auto Show.
Praga hired the Czech actress Lida Baarová for some of their publicity photos for the Baby. A few years later, she became notorious as the mistress of Josef Goebbels; reputedly, it took Hitler's intervention to end their affair. Could that be Lida sitting in the roadster?
