My father had one like this one ,a model 1939 DKW ,when he married my mother that year the first trip they did from Paraná to Córdoba, they had an accident decaise a dog crossed the road and to stop the colission after a sudden reaction they turned over the DKW, fortunately without consecuences for my mother and father!!😊😊😊❤❤❤Thank you for sharing this nice video!!😊😊❤❤

A 1939 DKW barn find rescue is an exciting project, especially when the car has spent 60 years at a junkyard. DKW (Dampf-Kraft-Wagen) was a German car and motorcycle brand known for pioneering two-stroke engines and producing small, affordable vehicles. Rescuing such a vehicle involves a detailed restoration process to bring the car back to its former glory.
It went through WW11 looks like a bullet hole through the windscreen and two bullet holes in the boot area. OK my imagination is running away, but you never know. That's the interesting part, it's history particularly the war years. And how fabulous to see it up and running. Well done 👍
In 1969 my first car was a 1962 DKW. A three cylinder two stroke, with a four speed on the column. It had 12 inch tires. I hadn’t thought about it in year’s but this video brings back memories.
I thought only Wartburg's had that engine. My father was a fan of the cheap and cheerful RHD Wartburg. He bought three and kept two of them for spares. Real strange things. He loved to tinker and had his running example purring. If one can describe that damned awful racket as purring.
1969 när jag var 12 år gammal köpte jag en liknande DKW av 1937 års modell. Prislappen var 1000kr. Tyvärr fick vi aldrig igång bilen, men hade vi haft denna film att se på då hade våra chanser ökat betydligt 👍🏻
I like to say another word. Not to many videos will touch my heart. This one did put tears into my eyes . My dad wore his DKW lapel pin until he died. He had a new trunk , made out of wood, replaced . I remember at a time in the alps. The car didn’t had the power to go up a very steep hill. Guess what, backwards it worked. Different gearing. My older brother became a first class DKW mechanic. He was again in seventh heaven when east Germany opened the border. He worked for F&S in Schweinfurt and the company helped the Trabi owners. Don’t let this beautiful car die
The fact that the car was saved from that barn is absolutely amazing.. but after he did make it run i realize how underpowered and smokey it is.. Would be nice to modify it with a bigger 4 cylinder modern motor.. from a motorcycle like Hayabusa that would be awesome plus the exhaust and maybe some better brakes..
@@poplaurentiu4148 I like modified for performance...but in this case NO An act of infidel ... A many mile will come before replacing that engine is necessary. WERE YOU NOT WATCHING THE END? As it sits would still be better to treat to simple TLC
The looks of these always captivate me. Never knew they were 2 cylinder motors 😮. Always good seeing old metal back rolling no matter where you are on the map.
This 1939 DKW is a museum piece. Save this nice car! In a scene in "The night of the Generals" (1967) warmovie , i saw also a German army version of this car.
The Wehrmacht did not like two strokes - probably because of the fact that you have to fill in oil before petrol. So many civilan owners could keep their DKWs. After the war they made a couple of units at the original factory in Zwickau Saxony under the nationalised car industry's brand IFA F8. For the lack of cars in comunist East Germany they were quite common until the mid 70ies.
И Хорьх в том числе. Было 4 фирмы (4 кольца на эмблеме), которые входили в концерн Auto Union: Horch, Audi, Wanderer, DKW. До наших дней дожила только Ауди, наследовав эмблему.
Love your straight forward quiet-just-do-it vids, what a cute beauty, reminds me in a way of my mom's '63 2CV that dad restored in about 1969, every time I drove it to school I could not stop smiling. Nice work, wonderful car, I like the old DKW's I think they really had style for what they were. Thanks for posting your rescue work, does an old mans heart a good turn :)
Em São Paulo, Brasil, tivemos uma montadora DKW, dos anos 50 até 1969. Aqui há muitos modelos DKW lindamente restaurados e preservados mas este especificamente eu não conhecia. Parabéns ! 👏👏👏 🇧🇷
My dad bouhgt the same in 1958 in Amsterdam and restored the engine on the kitchen table. He drove the family of 5 through Holland- Belgium-France to a camping at the Cote d’Azur in the summer vacation. I still have some pictures and the official sales leavelet of the car. The Dutch licenceplate I still know by heart NP-14-56
Min pappa och mamma hade sån "spån korg" när dom var lite över 20. Åkte runt hela Sverige och Norge hade problem i Trollstigen med den lilla motorn. Kul att se.
You took a hell of a chance on the brakes after sitting for so long! After I knew it was going to run, I'd have made sure it was going to stop before I took it out.
@@Varinki Sure, but they can seize up too. BTW, liked the old car! Great to see the oldies being brought back to life - I wonder in 60 years time how many of our modern cars will be able to be run without their electronics.
This is completely similar to a 1954 IFA I had in Norway from 1990 to 2012. I sold it to a museum in Dresden. After WW2 East Germany continued producing these. :)
No Brasil tivemos a felicidade em andar nos DKW mais novos na década de 1960. Adorava o ronco. Por isto que sempre gostei de motores 2 tempos. DKWs e Yamaha. São mais simples e duram muito. Em tempo: aqui o sedan se chamava DKW belcar e a "perua" (station wagon) se chamava Vemaguet.

My mother owned a DKW F1000 cabriolet. Tricky doors, my brother fell out of the car at 44 mph. Sparkplus needed cleaning. There a special shoe near the acccelarator. The leaky 2T oil mixer was just above. The car ended up in a local playground next to WW2 mini Uboot.
The F8 does not have any mixer. The helpful attendant at the petrol station would have filled up oil and then petrol. Mixers appeared in the early 60ies in West Germany and were a complete failure. In the East we had mixer pumps all over due to the sheer number of two stroke Trabants, Wartburgs as well as MZ and Simson motorcycles. I wonder how it was in Sweden - where they had quite a few Saabs with blue cloud propulsion.
Thanky Hampus very nice job there i restored a 1938 the 39 models where was big upgrade. Nice to hear the roller crankshaft is stil sounding good after al these years greetings from South Africa

It was part of Auto Union, like Audi, the latter being the only surviving brand name out of that conglomerate. The four rings signified the four brands (DKW, Audi, Horch, Wanderer) that joined to form Auto Union in 1932. After the original factories were seized by the Soviets following WWII, Auto Union moved to Southern Germany (Ingolstadt). The new company dropped all brands but DKW. In 1958 the company was sold to Daimler-Benz and in 1964 to VW. In 1965 the production of two-stroke cars (except for the military Munga) ended and the new cars with four-stroke engines were branded Audi.
Well, the hood ornament looks like it's in good shape. So... you got... that. Wave off the rat poop, crank it up, drive it into town, pick up your favorite girl in it. Let me tell you, it looked bigger in the sales catalog.

This model DKW is was a father a automobil Trabant. Same engine, tank fuel, same stick for changing gear. After WW 2 german comunist enginerig was inspire to old DKW.
Yes, you can tell that a man's total passion went into the design of the exterior and interior too. Today all cars are designed down to a price point and by committee.
Ρισπεκτ αγαπητέ μου φίλε για το υπέροχο αυτό βίντεο αριστούργημα θα έλεγα μοναδικό να ξαναδινετε ζωή σέ αυτό το υπέροχο αυτοκίνητο κόσμημα παύλα υπέροχη αντίκα της εποχής χωρίς τέλια και παύλα και προπαντός περιστροφές τέλος αγαπητοί μου φίλοι από Ελλάδα με αγάπη από έναν καθηγητή ναυπηγικής του Πολυτεχνείου Αθηνών τέλος,,,,,,,❤❤❤❤❤❤
My fathers first car was almost just as this one. Also from 1939 with the same radiator grill. But my father had a convertible linnen roof. Chassis doors and all the rest of the coach were made of wood. Only bonnet and wings were made of steel. I remember when he did repairs , hejust took the whole engine out and took it up the attick to repair it. According to the license my fathers car must be still somewhere in the Netherlands.
Was it a bullet hole that went straight through the car, through the windshield and out under the rear window? 🤔 2:01 Absolutely right to put on the winter tires in time, before the snow. 😉👍 This DKW's 2-cyl two-stroke engine was kind of the same that SAAB tuned up and used in its first car model of the SAAB 92 in the years 1949-1955. In the DKW that engine was 692cc 20hp. In the SAAB 92 1950-54 the engine was 764cc 25hp, (-54-56 28hp) ✌ (Same goes for the 3-cyl two-stroke engine in SAAB 93/95/96) 🤟 14:06 There is nothing better than a newly started two-stroke. The sound and exhaust are like no other car. Pure music to the ears. 🎶👂💨🥴 Very nice "barn find" 😎 👍
I really love this car I've seen quite a few at events. They sound beautiful and you do not need a lot of horsepower to have a wonderful driving experience. The sound is amazing and you will get a lot of attention.
The Trabant engines were derived from this one, since the Soviets (and later on the East Germans) took over the plants of Auto Union (of which DKW is a constituent brand, aside from Audi, Horch and Wanderer), forcing its relocation to Ingolstadt.
Oh wow... one of my late Father's friends had an exactly similar DKW - in perfect condition. I remember being charmed as a 10 yr old boy with its simple but stately beauty. Can't wait to see how you deal with this one now!
Bonjour a VOUS .JORGEN SKAFTE RASMUSSEN en 1917 a ZWICKAV fondé LA PRESTIGIEUSE usine DKW ( Tout est dit) Merci pour cette très belle vidéo et ces instants de partage.ADESSIAS
I've got a fuel tank that looks exactly like that one from the DKW but with auto union and the four rings embossed in the ends, I'm in Australia and this is the first time I've seen one like it. I've been wondering what it was from for years.
I know these cars very well, they are very special. The lousy old Twostroke unit was later a massproduct in the DDR for the Trabant. Take a closer look at the engine Block, 90% of them are frozen off and must be welded and repaired for high costs.

In 1965 the production of two-stroke cars (except for the military Munga) ended and the new cars with four-stroke engines were branded Audi.
@@Ragnar8504 I had an NSU which was also part of Auto Union.
It was a German car and motorcycle company that later became part of Auto Union (Audi)
@@Ragnar8504 Thank you for the background, Ragnar.
I am very impressed with your knowledge of this motor car👏👏👏. I just love the shape of it.
Well, the hood ornament looks like it's in good shape. So... you got... that.
Wave off the rat poop, crank it up, drive it into town, pick up your favorite girl in it.
Let me tell you, it looked bigger in the sales catalog.
Wow Don't see one of those every day ! Thanks for showing it and taking us on a ride a long . The speedometer even still works ! Scott 🌵
What a sweet old DeeK! Must be super rare, in that great condition.
Dankeschön für das Hochladen 👍 Unkaputtbare, einfache Technik...Lowtech! Ich schaue jetzt gerade aus dem Fenster auf meinen 1985er IFA AWE Wartburg 353S Tourist (Stationwagon) von 1985 😍 Ein später Nachfahre des alten DKW F7. Immer noch ein Zweitakter, aber mit 3 Zylindern, 1000ccm, 50 PS, elektronischer Zündung und Zweistufen Vergaser 😊 Schön, dass Ihr den alten F7 neu zum Leben erweckt habt🔧👍 Das ist Historie zum Erleben! Hab ein Abo hier gelassen, viele Grüße aus (Ost-) Deutschland, der Menix 👋😃🔧
Nice looking car, it looks a lot like the Lancia Ardea, first built around the same time as the DKW
Love that works , silent is gold .
Respect full From Indonesia 🇲🇨.
Awesome works ❤.
VERY cool find & revival!! Great to see this one didn't fight much to come back to life - but was made easier by decades of indoor storage!
Cheers from the USA
All your videos are excellent and super enjoyable to watch !
Thank you!
Always good to see a barn find rescued and running especially a Dkw had one of the bikes built like a tank very reliable bit smoky

This model DKW is was a father a automobil Trabant. Same engine, tank fuel, same stick for changing gear. After WW 2 german comunist enginerig was inspire to old DKW.
So glad everyone told us what DKW stood for,, it is is the small things that matter!
Cada qual tem sua verdade na História
Someone who actually revives , restores! Cars near! Fully well done, enjoyed your great effort👏👏🥳👍😂🤷♂️
Thank you!
I love this car. Amazing what you did with it.
I can hear that car saying thank you to you repeatedly, glad you restored such a beauty, have my sub
Как же прекрасны старые автомобили
Yes, you can tell that a man's total passion went into the design of the exterior and interior too.
Today all cars are designed down to a price point and by committee.
...what a convenient " barnfind " everything worked, and you could tell what needed fixing without testing it or anything!
In such a car there is not much that can refuse to work.

Ρισπεκτ αγαπητέ μου φίλε για το υπέροχο αυτό βίντεο αριστούργημα θα έλεγα μοναδικό να ξαναδινετε ζωή σέ αυτό το υπέροχο αυτοκίνητο κόσμημα παύλα υπέροχη αντίκα της εποχής χωρίς τέλια και παύλα και προπαντός περιστροφές τέλος αγαπητοί μου φίλοι από Ελλάδα με αγάπη από έναν καθηγητή ναυπηγικής του Πολυτεχνείου Αθηνών τέλος,,,,,,,❤❤❤❤❤❤
Another great find and enjoyable to watch you work your magic !
Thank you!😀
Amazing that car managed to survive more than half a century in a junkyard.
Is the barn in the junk yard?
@@jeannieheard1465Yes, it was put aside from the rest.
O inconfundível barulhinho do motor dois tempos da DKW. Lindo demais 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
My fathers first car was almost just as this one. Also from 1939 with the same radiator grill. But my father had a convertible linnen roof. Chassis doors and all the rest of the coach were made of wood. Only bonnet and wings were made of steel. I remember when he did repairs , hejust took the whole engine out and took it up the attick to repair it. According to the license my fathers car must be still somewhere in the Netherlands.
Was it a bullet hole that went straight through the car, through the windshield and out under the rear window? 🤔
2:01 Absolutely right to put on the winter tires in time, before the snow. 😉👍
This DKW's 2-cyl two-stroke engine was kind of the same that SAAB tuned up and used in its first car model of the SAAB 92 in the years 1949-1955. In the DKW that engine was 692cc 20hp.
In the SAAB 92 1950-54 the engine was 764cc 25hp, (-54-56 28hp) ✌
(Same goes for the 3-cyl two-stroke engine in SAAB 93/95/96) 🤟
14:06 There is nothing better than a newly started two-stroke. The sound and exhaust are like no other car.
Pure music to the ears. 🎶👂💨🥴
Very nice "barn find" 😎 👍
I really love this car I've seen quite a few at events. They sound beautiful and you do not need a lot of horsepower to have a wonderful driving experience. The sound is amazing and you will get a lot of attention.
The sound is similar/like oh sound auto Trabant.
@@mirceapopa9947 smoky 2 stroke engines. sounds like a moped
The Trabant engines were derived from this one, since the Soviets (and later on the East Germans) took over the plants of Auto Union (of which DKW is a constituent brand, aside from Audi, Horch and Wanderer), forcing its relocation to Ingolstadt.
Oh wow... one of my late Father's friends had an exactly similar DKW - in perfect condition. I remember being charmed as a 10 yr old boy with its simple but stately beauty. Can't wait to see how you deal with this one now!
OK, great job! I hope one day you will have both the time and the resources to paint and chrome it, and restore the interior too.
nice keep it ON 👍
This car has several bullet holes and a shrapnel gash in it - what a wartime backstory it must have!
You are quite a well qualified mechanic. I want to learn how to drive a car. And own a car like that one.
That looked like a two cylinder. I had a DKW (my first car) very similar only a three cylinder, sounded the same.
You are very young, but very efficient. Bravo.

Nice car, but also nicely done video, professional video
Very cool. Brought a lost piece of pretty cool artwork back to life in a pretty cool way. Would love to see it fully restored. :O)
What a cool car. An oily rag restoration would be great.
Your work was thorough and the running engine proves it. Thanks for a fine video. I am now subscribed.
Love to see this car rescued. It is the same car my mum and dad had when they were young. I have a picture of it on the wall in my living room. Nice.
Bonjour a VOUS .JORGEN SKAFTE RASMUSSEN en 1917 a ZWICKAV fondé LA PRESTIGIEUSE usine DKW ( Tout est dit) Merci pour cette très belle vidéo et ces instants de partage.ADESSIAS
My father in law had one 1939 but convertible.Very nice!!!
I've got a fuel tank that looks exactly like that one from the DKW but with auto union and the four rings embossed in the ends, I'm in Australia and this is the first time I've seen one like it. I've been wondering what it was from for years.
I know these cars very well, they are very special. The lousy old Twostroke unit was later a massproduct in the DDR for the Trabant. Take a closer look
at the engine Block, 90% of them are frozen off and must be welded and repaired for high costs.
