Resistant against shock and weather.

A well used DKW's bodywork still needs care as they will have seen every kind of weather condition, from wind, dust, rain and snow.

And the bodywork can tolerate blows like a heavyweight boxer, which is proved by accident reports, of which we already have a number where we have read of DKWs that crashed through iron bars or where struck without damage to the body.

It is elastic. There have been cases in which a DKW has overturned or performed similar acrobatic feats without suffering damage because plywood is elastic and is resiliently pressed. This elasticity has preserved many a DKW owner from bodily harm many times.

A boon to the already sensitive nerves of the people of our day is the fact that the DKW plywood bodywork does not rattle and vibrate like a drum, but the vibration noise is absorbed within itself.

It's obvious but also needs to be said - the DKW plywood bodywork is the ideal bodywork.

DKW program - Frankfurt Motor Show 29 April 1951


The International Motor Show of 1952 in Frankfurt am Main is the German automobile industry's first opportunity after the war to display on German soil testimony of their unbroken skill and technical ability. For Auto Union,which had undoubtedly suffered the most unfortunate consequences of the war, this is especially true. Before the eyes of the public is presented an impressive overview of what has been created within barely two years literally out of nothing.

The biggest surprise to visitors of the exhibition in Frankfurt is the new DKW luxury two-seater,  coupe and convertible, which is revealed to German and international audiences for the first time. Another surprise is the new DKW meisterklasse as a sunroof sedan and the new DKW universal.  Furthermore, the already known DKW Schnellaster program is enriched with new versions.

Despite the different appearance of all these vehicles, they do have one thing in common: they are genuine DKW vehicles that carry with them 30 years of experience in two-stroke motor technology. They are cars that are famous for their proverbial fuel economy, reliability and unpretentious unique driving characteristics.

This special issue newsletter provides an overview of DKWs extensive production program.
