Skoda is a Czech automobile manufacturer that was founded in 1895 as Laurin & Klement. In 1925 Laurin & Klement was acquired by Skoda Works. In late 1959, the Skoda Felicia, was imported into the United States for the 1960 model year. It was a compact four-cylinder convertible coupe that retailed for around $2,700, a rather steep price for a car of its size. The Felicias were plagued by reliability issues in the United States which ultimately damaged the car's reputation.

It is believed that only about 100 Felicia's were sold in the United States during 1959. This particular example is currently on display at the Miami Auto Museum. It has been given a thorough ground-up restoration.
