I owned and used a 1957 one as my everyday car in the late 60's. Beautiful and would outrun a mini 1000 at a good 40 miles per gallon. Was right hand drive and had freewheel.
We owned 1959. It also was RH drive. Bought new on Cyprus as one of the last 1958 built models. It wore a DKW label on the rear which likely was the result of them cleaning out the parts bins. I own a 1962 750 cc Junior's drivetrain. Just need to find a good chassis for it. Miss that old car.
Der Mann am Steuer geht sehr sorgsam mit dem Auto um! Er reißt die Gänge nicht durch, sondern macht immer eine ganz kurze Pause in der Leerlaufstellung. Und so lassen sich die Gänge wunderbar schalten. Genau so ist es richtig!
Schöne Töne! So ein gleiches Auto (1970 für 240 DM gekauft) habe ich leider 1971 bei einem Mehrfachüberschlag geschrottet. Meine Rippen waren gebrochen, der 3=6 sah aus wie ein Giebeldach, die hinteren Räder waren flach unter den Wagenboden geklappt!
Mi padre compró un Auto Union 1000S en Argentina en el año 1965. Lo tuvimos en la familia muchos años. Ese auto lo compró en el consecionario que pertenecía a Juan M. Fangio que vendía autos de esta marca. Ubicado en el barrio de Constitución en la ciudad de Buenos Aires.
Thanks Kelly! She is a joy to drive, allthough I really had to get used to the gearshifter. If felt like every gear was located exactly opposite of where I thought it should be. But hey, it was indeed nice to drive! Regards, Walter
Dank je wel, Jan. Heb er ook wel een beetje op aangedrongen of ik deze auto een keer mocht meenemen. Hij is zo leuk, en hij is prachtig gerestaureerd! Groet, Walter
In meiner Jugend, zur Zweitakterzeit, galt der klötternde DKW mit blauer Abgasfahne in meinem Elternhaus und unter meinen Freunden und Klassenkameraden immer als "Arme- Leute Auto", über das wir gerne gelästert haben.
@Roy Paz Good eye, thanks! And very interesting. The only other vehicle I know with that pattern is the Renault Estafette, which was a commercial microvan.
Reverse is all the way towards you, then press the top of the shift lever towards the steering column and shift upward (i.e) the lever travels higher than 2nd or 4th.

One only shifts from third to fourth gear at 55 mph (about 90 km/h)on this model. It's actually far lower revving than you'd think. At 85mph (130 km/h) its only doing around 4500RPM.
It would always get you home as long as you didn't seize a bearing. The engine had 3 sets of points and three coils. Two were enough to get you to where it could be fixed.
You're wrong there mate. Those engines are nearly bullet proof and run over 100 000 miles between overhauls. They are super reliable and great performers I have owned enough DKW's and driven 1000's of miles to know. I still have three of them now.
This was a good and sturdy car!
The model I like most from Auto Union!!!!!..,thanks for sharing!!!
I drove many 2-stroke motorbikes but never a 2-stroke car, Thanks Walter.

I've just uploaded a short video of 2 DKW's. 1 lhd & 1 rhd parked together.

Hahaha oops!
hermoso auto. saludos.
Looks beautiful and goes hard like a 2 stroke does, it reminds me of outboards on song. Speaking of song, a very pleasant audi-o choice.
Thanks Anthony, glad you liked it!

Very interesting! These engines were also used in Formula Junior race cars.
Cool! I did not know that. Must have been a stinky surrounding...
Beautyful danish car!

Better.
I've heard about the odd shift pattern, where 1 is below 2, and 3 is below 4. Where's reverse?
@Roy Paz Good eye, thanks! And very interesting. The only other vehicle I know with that pattern is the Renault Estafette, which was a commercial microvan.
Reverse is all the way towards you, then press the top of the shift lever towards the steering column and shift upward (i.e) the lever travels higher than 2nd or 4th.
Whats is Brand and type oil of 2 stroke?
When did they change from the vertical speedo to the dual clocks? I would feel naked driving without seat belts.
Visionery1 I don't know about the clocks. Anyone else maybe? Driving without belts is strange indeed! Ciao, Walter
The dual clocks were first, then in later Auto Union 1000 Coupe´s, with the evolving windshield ,they introduced the verical speedometer!!!!!
The round instruments to vertical speedometer changed in 1959 when the AU1000/60 with panoramic windscreen was released.
