The Malaxa was a car designed and built in 1945 in Romania, as the national machine industry had to convert its wartime output to civilian items.
This model was designed by a team headed by engineer Petre I. Carp, of "Nicolae Malaxa Studies Society".
Few prototypes were built in various aircraft factories in Romania (IAR Brașov, ASAM Cotroceni etc.
The gearbox had four speeds with auto-blocking special differential and hydraulic gear stick.
Malaxa offered a high level of comfort, and could carry five persons with four suitcases in all.
