Car order can be bequeathed
NZPA-Reuter Bonn East Germans used to waiting up to 12 years for a new car can bequeath their orders to the family if they fear they might be dead by delivery time, says Bonn’s Inter-German Affairs Ministry. In its weekly newsletter, the Ministry quoted an East German state radio host as telling a listener the law allowed car orders to be passed on to surviving spouses or children.
It said the waiting period for cars built in the Communist State, mostly antiquated twostroke Trabants, was between eight and 12 years.
