History
Praga introduced the Super Piccolo at the Prague motor show in April 1934 as a mid-size car to replace the 1.5-litre Piccolo. It was built from 1934 to 1936, and the article says fewer than seven hundred were made.
Most cars were four-door saloons. Praga showed an aerodynamic saloon at the Berlin show in February 1935, and only a few dozen of that body were built within a series of about one hundred cars.
