The Tatra 49 is a model of vintage three-wheeled motor vehicle made by Czech manufacturer Tatra.
It was developed with an aim to offer a reliable commercial car at the lowest possible cost. It shared some parts with the Tatra 12 and Tatra 30. However the motor tricycle wasn't a commercial success and only about 200 of them were made from 1929 to 1930. Other sources claim that about 210 were produced: 97 in 1930, nine in 1931, another four in 1932, and about 100 between 1934 and 1939.[1]
A few cars of the type also had a body shell similar to the one used by the Tatra 12.[2]
