Summary[edit]

Description

DKW was founded in 1916, it was one of four companies that merged to form Auto Union in 1932. DKW cars were made from 1928 until 1966, apart from an interruption caused by the Second World War. DKWs always used two-stroke engines The Auto Union 1000 was a luxury compact built in Germany from 1958-65, it replaced the very similar 1953-59 DKW 3=6, the engine was enlarged and the new car got the four ring badge across the grille along with the ‘Auto Union’ name above it, in place of the ‘DKW’ badge that had adorned the nose of the earlier model. In addition to the 2 and 4 door saloons, there was a ‘pillarless’ coupé. A three-door ‘Universal’ estate was also offered from 1959. For the new decade, the saloon was renamed Auto Union 1000S and received in 1960 an eye catching wrap around windscreen. Engine; 981cc 2 stroke 3 cylinder
