Test #1 - Pete, Where are you?

[stuny]

Let's see if Pete or anyone else can get this one. If not from this photo, I'll keep adding photos until somebody gets it. Hint: This is one of two steps to get up to the "rumble seat," as we in the US called the outside seat where the trunk (boot) would normally be on a car for the 1920s or 1930s. This car is European, and that outer surface is leather, much like a Leica RF of the era..

Is it an Auto Union Wanderer?

The rear seat is also known as a Dickie Seat.

Next time you shoot the info-display in front of the car, so you don´t miss anything later back home

Ron - I do have the info display on another photo, but it's too soon to show it.

Neil - It is a DKW Auto Union, but not a Wanderer, unless Wanterer is a popular name for the car. Here are a couple more images to help you along.

While we're at it, who remembers what DKW stands for?

Just kidding, Stu. I will not tell what DKW stands for

Ron -

I knew you were kidding (the emoticon was helpful). Go ahead and tell if you like.

Just back from L:e Mans...... need some sleep.

Das Kleine Wunder was a motor-cycle engine they made but I think it had something to do with steam originally.

Dampf Kraft Wagen....

Special damp processed cheese wedge delivery vehicle.

Right, Dampf Kraft Wagen, and Pete too is right... a steam engine car of 1916 built by the (Danish) founder of the firm.

Gorgeous photo.

John - Thank you.

All - I suspect that's as close as we'll get, so here are some more photos. Our colleagues above are correct regarding it being a DKW (Dampf Kraft Wagen, though others claim the real name is Das Kleine Wagon)), and that an early DKW was steam drivine, and later models were driven by motorcycle engines. Being a 1937 model, the number designation for this DKWs is F5. There were multiple body styles for the F5, and the rarer cabriolet was called the Meister Cabriolet.
