That would have been easy, wouldn't it? And it would have been a repost, too.
You are right with it being a DKW bodied by Dannenhauer & Stauss, but this car was not called Monza for a good reason.
Locked for you.

Very good! The pictured car is the very first of these coupes, the second one was already pictured in a former DKW Monza puzzle: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2009-37/whaddyacallit-230-solved!-dkw-monza/msg43439/#msg43439 and https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2009-37/whaddyacallit-230-solved!-dkw-monza/msg389044/#msg389044.
Both cars were built on the narrow-track DKW F91 chassis.
