I bought a 4-door model of this car off a farm in Nebraska about 20 years ago. Hauled it home to Oregon, cleaned it up and sold it to a guy. It was a '66 and the same color, but not close to the fine condition as this one is. Nice find! 🙂👍

[@peteacher52]

From NZ My dad bought a new F-102, the final 2-stroke before they kept the shape, put a 4-stroke engine in it and called it an Audi. The F-102 was an excellent car and for the day, was a pocket rocket ship and never gave any trouble in the 53000 miles dad put on it. Modern synthetic 2T oils would have been of benefit, allowing for leaner adjustments on the injector and therefore less smoke.

Respect the humans who made this, who bought it. This was somebody’s dream, a reason for joy, adventure and lots of fond memories. Thank you for everything.

We knew this vehicle as an Auto Union 1000s. Neighbours daughter used one. DKW was completely something else.

[@rogerkarlsson3996]

The model originated as DKW and was renamed Auto Union but they were still DKW's - later they changed to four stroke engines and renamed the car Audi. Audi was then bought by VW.

[@Isayso1]

Auto Union was the brandname to which Mercedes Benz switched after they took over the enterprise in 1958. These Auto Union 1000 with the wrap around windshield came for 1959 and ended 1963 to be replaced by the F102. The origin (F9) of the design dates back to 1939 and was buildt after the war 0:04 as F89 and F91 (in GDR as IFA F9) with a 10cm widening of the body in 1955 (F93). In 1964 VW bought the Auto Union and transplanted a four stroke engine (Mitteldruckmotor) that Mercedes had brought to Ingolstadt into the F102 and named it Audi.

[@recmidiafilmagenseedicao8255]

Esse é um dos carros antigos da auto union preferido, principalmente pelo design sedan traseiro e dianteiro, meu maior sonho seria ganhar ele de presente😜. Um vídeo da restauração dele seria ótimo, fico na expectativa de ver o vídeo dele sendo restaurado.🙏

[@vic.smittie.5668]

My late Dad had 14 D.K.W.'s, all sorts. My favourite were the '63 models. I bacame knowledgeable about them, and could rebuild the engine before I was 12. Fantastic cars, great memories! I'm from the R. of S.A., by the way. They were popular and well loved here! So nice to see one again. 😍😍😍

[@phildelfosse8085]

Hi Vic, I need to rebuild my 900cc DKW engine. I wonder how the pistons and Crankshaft are set back into the block. Any hints would be welcomed, thanks, Philippe

[@bliksemdonder5624]

Ja, Duitse Kak Wa, dit is wat ons hulle genoem het. 🤣

[@vic.smittie.5668]

@@phildelfosse8085 Hi there Philippe! Where are you from? Last time I worked on them were in the '70's! I remember the holes in the pistons of which no. 1 and 2 pointed in the same direction, and no. 3 away. If you google a bit, you'll find quite a bit of info on them. The guys even race them still! I saw some videos a while ago. Very nice! Just search a bit, there are lots of info and clips. I hope you'll be able to get parts! The crank assembly as a whole has to be lowered in. The guys sling it up, and them you gotta guide the rings/pistons in alternatively, a little bit at a time. This they did from the top As a 12 year old, I lay the block on its side, and with the flywheel/front pulley on, made a "ramp" to level the crank and then "rolled" forward, guiding the pistons in. Alone. Quite a mission. You have to be very careful not to break the rings! Also, make sure that the ring ends/pins, that stops them from turning are not visible in the ports, then it's wrong. Good luck Man! So nice to see some of them are still around. Is it a Junior, or F 12? I think the Junior was a 750 cc, and the F 12 900 cc. The older models were also 900 cc if i remember correctly. Its been over 50 years! 😳 Greetings!

Back around 1968, I had 3 of them. Needed 3 to be able to keep 1 running. Roller bearing crankshafts kept burning up. Could pull the engine by hand by straddling the fenders. 3 cylinder, 2 stroke engines. 2 of mine you had to add oil to the gas before filling up, but the 3rd one had a separate oil tank and oil injection.

The 2 cylinder was very old, and rare. All the rest were 3 cylinder engines. This was the '63 1000S. I think the last year of production, and the most beautiful too, with a lot of small changes. Those cars reached 100 mph. no problem! I'm a '62 model! 😉

The first car that my father bought for the family (in 1960 or 1961) after I was born was a green 1955 DKW F91 "Sonderklasse", also marked "3=6" to pretend the 900 cc three-cylinder two-stroke engine was equal to a six-cylinder four-stroke engine. I remember it had "suicide doors" latched at the rear end, and semaphore turn signals until those had to be replaced by blinkers two years later. Unfortunately, it broke down on us early upon returning from vacation in Bavaria in 1964, so my father bought a 1961 Opel Rekord instead down there to get us home.
