A sedan that revelled in contemporary understatement: Black body and white roof – both polished to a sheen, of course. It testified to the pride of every DKW driver who owned this gem of automotive engineering. The Limousine gracefully accentuates those elegantly swung curves that delineate every DKW model and is rounded off to perfection by the distinctive chrome radiator grille. Auto Union enjoyed tremendous demand for the successor of the DKW 3=6. In total, more than 171,000 units of this model series rolled off the belt at the production location in Düsseldorf.
