stuny Posted July 14, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 14, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) 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.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

neila Posted July 15, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 15, 2008 Is it an Auto Union Wanderer? The rear seat is also known as a Dickie Seat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted July 15, 2008 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted July 15, 2008 Share #5 Posted July 15, 2008 Just kidding, Stu. I will not tell what DKW stands for;) Ron - I do have the info display on another photo, but it's too soon to show it.

elansprint72 Posted July 15, 2008 Share #7 Posted July 15, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share #11 Posted July 16, 2008 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.
