Rare 1936 Tatra 75 Convertible Joins the Prestigious DFW Car and Toy Museum

The DFW Car & Toy Museum is proud to unveil an exceptionally rare 1936 Tatra 75 Convertible, a masterpiece of prewar engineering now featured in the renowned Ron Sturgeon Collection. Previously housed at the Tampa Bay Automotive Museum, this extraordinary vehicle highlights Tatra's legacy of forward-thinking innovation and sophisticated European design. With only 4,100 units ever produced, this specific model remains a testament to timeless craftsmanship and historical preservation.

Equipped with an advanced 1.7-liter air-cooled flat-four engine and a rigid backbone chassis, the Tatra 75 was decades ahead of its time. The interior features elegant red leather seating, a body-color dashboard, and an original VDO instrumentation panel, all preserved with only 44,000 kilometers on the odometer. This convertible serves as a vital bridge in automotive history, representing the final front-engined passenger car from Tatra before the brand pivoted toward its iconic rear-engined designs.

Visitors are invited to explore this rare treasure at the museum’s new 150,000-square-foot facility in North Fort Worth. Alongside over 200 classic automobiles and 3,000 vintage toys, the museum offers a unique, free-admission experience for families, collectors, and automotive historians. Located at 2550 McMillan Parkway, the museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, providing a premier destination to witness the evolution of transportation engineering firsthand.
