A Chat with June’s Profile, Justus Bauschinger, president/owner of Lilliput Motor Co. & Deutsche Optik

CS: Was the response what you’d expected?
JB: No. In fact, we were just flooded. We were blown away. That led to raising a little bit of money, which allowed me to go buy the tooling, which allowed me to then be the first American manufacturer in the de-communized Czech Republic … well, it was still Czechoslovakia then. In fact, I started making these cars in an ex-weapons factory. Time went on and we kept adding more product and so on.
