Own every Škoda.
Václav Laurin and Václav Klement founded their company in Mladá Boleslav in 1895. They made bicycles first. Motorcycles came next and then cars in 1905. The firm joined the Škoda Works in 1925. It has belonged to Volkswagen since the 1990s, and still builds cars in Mladá Boleslav.
The start of their anecdote. The album's other cards are for you to discover in the game.
Škoda
1969–1977 · Inline-4
No Škoda had reached a million units before the rear-engined 100 and its 1.1-litre sister, the 110. Both were built in Mladá Boleslav from 1969 to 1977, and the range also spawned the 110 R coupé, styled like a Porsche of the day at a much lower price.

Škoda
1964–1969 · Inline-4
Škoda had always put the engine up front. For its 1960s family car it chose the rear instead, as front-wheel drive was too costly and complex. Planned to weigh no more than 700 kg, the 1000 MB still offered reclining front seats, a heater and a big boot up front.

Škoda
1946–1952 · Inline-4
Czechs called it the "Tudor", after its two-door saloon, the first body to go into production, and the nickname soon stuck to every version. Underneath it was the 1939 Popular 1101 brought up to date, with a new body still framed in wood and a new dashboard.
