This beautiful Felicia has a short journey to us. A car collector from Prague gave us this beautiful example of Czech automobile construction for a complete restoration. After 60 years, it was high time to return the car to its original condition and remove the ugly scars of these years.

An outstanding example of the Czech brand Škoda's automotive heritage in the 1960s, the Škoda Felicia Cabriolet embodies elegance and style. Not to be confused with the later Škoda Felicia of the 1990s, this convertible was produced from 1959 to 1964 and is considered one of the most elegant and stylish cars Škoda has ever built.

The design of the Felicia Cabriolet was modern and appealing for its time. With its flowing lines, open top and classic silhouette, it exuded an air of luxury and freedom, making it a coveted object for car enthusiasts.

Technically, the Felicia Cabriolet was state-of-the-art at the time. It was powered by a 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine that did not offer outstanding performance, but was impressive due to its reliability and efficiency. With a relatively light chassis and a well-tuned suspension, the Cabriolet offered pleasant driving dynamics, which were particularly evident on the country roads of the time.

Inside, the Felicia Cabriolet offered a surprisingly comfortable and spacious interior for a vehicle of its class. The seats were comfortable and offered enough space for the driver and front passenger.

A notable feature of the Felicia Cabriolet was its versatility. It was popular both as an everyday car and as a recreational vehicle, making it an ideal choice for buyers. The model enjoyed great popularity not only in Czechoslovakia, but also in other European countries.

The Felicia Cabriolet represents an important phase in Škoda's history. It showed that the Czechoslovakian car manufacturer was capable of producing cars that were not only functional, but also attractive and desirable. Today, the Felicia Cabriolet is a sought-after collector's item and a testament to the automotive art of the 1960s.
