I had a chance to drive T87. The most unique peace of automotive history easily. Made in 1930s it handles just like a modern car. Ride comfort, easy controls, acceleration, engine noise (v8 by the way). An average 1975 American automobile doesn’t feel that modern in comparison. The only thing betraying the ancient nature of it is you still see a 1930 dash.
Porsche has stolen both Bug and 911 idea from them.
In fact Tatra was doing quite well under commies. It stopped car production after the wall fell. Still builds trucks.

Here’s an interesting video on the T87. He also said it doesn’t drive like an old car. More like a 1980’s Toyota.
