Yes, that is part of the answer.

Auto Union special as the Monza?? So built by some German Karroseriebau?

Wendax · « **Reply #13 on:** July 06, 2014, 04:17:27 PM »

It is not a German coachwork.

Swiss body builder

Ghia-Aigle

mekubb · « **Reply #17 on:** July 06, 2014, 05:05:46 PM »

Swiss would have been my guess as well, could be a Beutler creation

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** July 07, 2014, 02:19:34 AM »

Not Ghia-Aigle, but Beutler.

Locked for mekubb to find out which DKW this car is based on.

mekubb · « **Reply #19 on:** July 07, 2014, 05:10:28 AM »

It's a bit of a guess, but could it be the F102 DKW ?

No, one more guess before I will unlock

mekubb · « **Reply #21 on:** July 07, 2014, 06:59:36 AM »

I guess it is from the late fifties, so could it be a DKW 3=6 ?

Wendax · « **Reply #22 on:** July 07, 2014, 07:03:45 AM »

Yes, it is. My source spoke of a 3=6 Sonderklasse, But since the coachwork was done in 1958, I rather tend to say that it is a Großer DKW 3=6.

mekubb · « **Reply #23 on:** July 07, 2014, 09:08:04 AM »

Thanks. Do you have a recent pic of this car ? I couldn't find one and wonder if it still exists.

Wendax · « **Reply #24 on:** July 07, 2014, 09:43:44 AM »

Unfortunately not. I didn't know of the car's existence before I found this picture.
