Merci Wendax !

At first I thought it was a DKW or an Auto Union, but a deeper search pointed me in the right direction. I believe this is what this site is all about !

Besides some modern time recreations, the original car has survived:

IFA F9. But not a 'cabrio'. Also a year and a coachbuilder name are needed to complete the answer.

Two seater so Roadster is more correct version. It should be from 1950. And coachbuilder... VEB-Karroseriefabrik probably

Shouldn't it be named correctly: IFA F9 Roadster prototype with bodywork by 'Karosseriewerk Meerane', formerly 'Karosserie Hornig' and 'Karosserie Dietzsch'?

That should be correct. Thanks.
But that won't fit in topic header.
Just tried to put there all keywords. OK?

Mostly correct, except for the Dietzsch part. The IFA F9 Roadster was built in Meerane and already shown at the Leipzig fair in 1950. By then Hornig had turned into "IFA - Vereinigung volkseigener Fahrzeugwerke, Karosseriewerk Meerane". Dietzsch, which was located in Glauchau and St. Egidien, was merged much later with the Meerane factory by January 1, 1953.

Thanks Wendax, right. Forgot to think about building date of the IFA Roadster...

No problem, it often helps to search less precise, but then you have to check more finds.  ;)
