1913 Praga Alfa 5/15 HP
During the first half of the 20th century, three large car plants were operating on Czech territory, in addition to many smaller producers. These took it in turns to occupy the leading position on the domestic market. In addition to the plants in Kopřivnice and Mladá Boleslav, there was Praga in Prague, founded in 1907. The big domestic car plants always tried right up to the Second World War to cover all segments of the market in their production programme. So the Prague car plant had already in 1913 offered its customers, in addition to several types of utility vehicles, three types of passenger cars with four-cylinder engines — the small Praga Alfa, the two-litre Praga Mignon and a big luxury four-litre car, the Praga Grand. This Praga Alfa from the first year of production was donated to the National Technical Museum collection in 1946 by its producer.
