1960 Lloyd 600 Microvan

Lloyd was the brand name of Norddeutsche Automobile und Motoren GmbH of Bremen - owned by the Norddeutsche Lloyd shipping line - and was founded in 1908. In 1950, with a name change, Lloyd Motren Werke began mass-production. Competing head-on with Volkswagen and Opel, a Lloyd was a viable inexpensive, small car that somehow never really gained a foothold in the market.

By 1963 the car company was bankrupt. The 596cc twin-cylinder 4-stroke motor would push the van to 53 mph. LT600s were popular passenger and freight carriers at airports, hence the PanAm livery. It is believed that only 17 examples of the Microvan were created. The interior of this example features four seats plus some additional room for cargo. The front doors open suicide-style while the single rear door opens wide, allowing large luggage and packages. The 59cc 2-cylinder 4-stroke engine is mated to a four-speed transmission.
