According to one source the synthetic leather skin sometimes concealed a multitude of imperfections in the construction of the timber frame. Timber frame construction, which built on skills developed in nineteenth century carriage manufacturing, had been common in the 1920s, and manufacturers of small inexpensive cars not wishing to invest in costly presses and dies for stamping out steel body panels, notably DKW, had persisted with the technique and refined it through the 1930s. By the 1950s, however, some thought it anachronistic and the Lloyd 300 quickly acquired the soubriquet "Leukoplastbomber", an essentially untranslatable term referring to its "cute" shape and the "plasticky" character of the car's synthetic leather skin. Leukoplast is a brand of

When it was launched, in May 1950, the Lloyd came with an advertised price of DM 3,334, which was very much less than the DM 4,600 advertised price for a Beetle. Both cars were small, cramped and slow, but for most purposes the Lloyd 300 was a class smaller than the Beetle. Nevertheless, by 1952 the

The compact four-seater body was mounted on a tubular steel chassis with cross members and a platform of sheet steel. It consisted of a timber and plywood frame with an outer skin of synthetic leather. This avoided the need to use steel body panels which would have necessitated investment in heavy

Volkswagen from their higher production volumes enabled the company to reduce the price of the Beetle further, and the price differential between the little Lloyds and the Volkswagen eroded further year by year.
