The DFW Car & Toy Museum is proud to feature a rare 1967 Tatra 2-603, an iconic luxury sedan that represents one of the most fascinating chapters in automotive history. Part of the prestigious Ron Sturgeon Collection, this remarkable vehicle showcases the innovative engineering, distinctive styling, and political history that made Tatra one of Europe's most unconventional automobile manufacturers.
