stuny Posted August 14, 2022 Share #18222 Â Posted August 14, 2022 The strange taillights make me think of something the US automakers would have done in the '60s, but at the time they didn't make anything as small as the mystery car, and only the Corvair had a rear engine.

The designer used DKW parts of different models for making this personal "one-off". The car can be find in a 1960s book under a "wrong" name and had been sold a couple of years ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted August 17, 2022 Share #18240  Posted August 17, 2022 The car is rather interesting although the design might appear a bit strange on the first view. German Post engineer Günther Braun thought about making his own car in the early 1960s. He was no professional coachbuilder, just a private project. Based on the DKW F93 (3=6) he started this project which became his daily used family car for nearly 20 years. When he sold it in 1978/79 his daughter cried (the little girl in front of the car). Front windscreen from a 1957 Opel Rekord, rear window DKW 1000S, rear lights and part of the rear bumper clearly from the nice DKW 1000 SP "sportscar", 60 h.p. engine from the DKW F102 (Audi). The integrated mirrors are interesting, very modern back in 1960. Braun lost one eye as a young man, so he installed "split mirrors" for a better rear view. I stumbled over it in 2015 on EBAY and was shocked, never heard of a DKW "Monte Carlo" by Braun. Sure I recognized parts from other cars but this vehicle was one of a kind and really special. The DKW community knew the car for decades and it even won an ADAC club prize back in the 1960s and had been mentioned in a 1969 car book, wrongly under the name DKW S. Given the fact it had never been restored, but just repainted and used as a family car for about 20 years, parked somewhere in a barn and outdoor after 1979 this is in an amazing condition (it should remain and NOT restored, only technically serviced so it runs).   Welcome, dear visitor!
