I don't think that it was a F10, but it is a probably prewar DKW with Baur body. I came across a nice set of pictures of it:

Thanks for your the generosity. It is really a nice and interesting set, not to forget, the second car. Yes, it is difficult to distinguish the Baur F8 / F10-Cabriolets. So I knew, there were F10 with new "West-German"-chassis as a precursor to the F89. F8 with new "East-German"-chassis and F8 with used prewar-chassis. And they all looked very similar.

Yes, the prewar wire wheels made me think of a rebodied DKW Front Luxus.

We've had a IFA F8 Limousine with Baur body and a closed DKW F 10 before:

In the first picture the wheels are very difficult to recognise... ;-)
