The wooden car constructed by Tadeusz Lorenz in the 1940s and 1950s, based on the engine and frame of a Czech car Aero, showcased his remarkable engineering talent. The car was used for hunting and other activities, and most importantly, it remains operational to this day, staying fully functional. Tadeusz Lorenz, associated with the town of Lanckorona, built a glider at the mere age of 14, and later, not only engaged in vehicle construction but also actively contributed to the development of the local community. Through his initiatives, such as the electrification of Lanckorona, establishing a health center, or facilitating the launch of a bus line to Krakow, Lorenz significantly impacted the life of the local community, leaving a lasting mark in the region's history.
