Wartburg 311 2-door limousine

barrett · « **Reply #14 on:** July 08, 2012, 05:19:27 PM »

Very close, but it's not a Wartburg!

LOCKED for you for 24 hours to see if you can find the solution

The front off the car resembles a Wartburg and the rear looks like a DKW. AEW?

war · « **Reply #16 on:** July 09, 2012, 12:59:31 AM »

Sorry, must be AWE (AutomobilWerke Eisenach).

barrett · « **Reply #17 on:** July 09, 2012, 10:42:55 AM »

Even closer! It's a little too early to be an AWE (big clue!), I'll keep it locked for you to complete the answer...

war · « **Reply #18 on:** July 09, 2012, 12:54:20 PM »

It must be an IFA then. Altough, untill now, I don't find pictures of such a car it could be one with a body from Baur.

barrett · « **Reply #19 on:** July 09, 2012, 02:28:50 PM »

Not an IFA either.... unlocked

Correct! This prototype was one of the last creations of EMW before that company folded, of course the car lived on (with a couple of doors added) as the Wartburg 311.

Wendax · « **Reply #22 on:** July 15, 2012, 08:00:04 AM »

This prototype is from 1954. It was built on the IFA F9 (= EMW 309) chassis. The production Wartburg 311 had 10 cm added to its wheelbase.

Here's a front view:

A do-it-yourself construction or maybe not after all?
There is a point for a precise description of this vehicle.
