Facts about the model

Auto Union 1000 var en bil i mellanklassen tillverkad av DKW (Auto Union) som ersatte modellen DKW 3=6 1958. Den tillverkades i Västtyskland fram till 1963 då den ersattes av DKW F102. Tillverkningen fortsatte dock i Brasilien och Argentina där man tillverkade modellversionen Auto Union 1000 S fram till 1967.

Tvåtaktsmotor med tre cylindrar ska det vara om det är mjuk motorgång du vill ha. Det är ingen slump att DKW döpte sin bil till 3=6 (tresex) där likhetstecknet gjorde klart att den lilla 900-kubikaren bjöd på samma raffinemang som en rak sexcylindrig motor. DKW är märket som Saab kopierade och sanningen är nog den att de tyska motorerna inte bara var större och starkare utan också bättre. Detta ihop med en vacker kaross med inbjudande interiör gör DKW-bilarna från 1950- och 60-talen till attraktiva köp.
