I HAVE DECIDED THAT IT IS TIME TO RETIRE AND SELL MY BUSINESS, CLASSIC CARS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, INC. IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN OWNING YOUR ON VINTAGE CAR DEALERSHIP, GIVE ME A CALL AT 864 313 2908. EVERYTHING MUST GO. MAKE ME AN OFFER I CAN'T REFUSE AND IT MAY JUST BECOME YOURS. You are looking at a very rare 1957 Auto Union DKW coupe project car. The name DKW comes from Dampf-Kraft-Wagen which translates to steam-powered vehicle. It carries this name because of the first vehicle its Danish designer, J.S. Rasmussen, built, was a light steam car. Like many other manufacturers, DKW was also famous for motorcycles " in the 1930s they were the worlds largest motorcycle manufacturer. In 1931, DKW diversified into automobile manufacturing. In 1932, they became part of Auto Union, joining Audi, Horch, and Wanderer. In 1949, DKW was re-established in the Federal Republic of Germany before being taken over by Mercedes-Benz. Sold to Volkswagen in 1965, DKW became part of Audi and ceased production in 1966. DKW was known for being a reliable, well-built car. The two-stroke engine is small, being under 1000cc, but provided adequate power to move this medium size car along very well. It is claimed the engine has only 7 moving parts! The Auto Union 1000 is a luxury compact front-wheel drive automobile manufactured by Auto Union GmbH between 1958 and 1965. It was the first model branded as an Auto Union by the manufacturer since the 1930s; it replaced the DKW 3=6, although the latter continued in production until the end of 1959. The two cars were broadly similar, but the new car had its two-stroke engine enlarged to 981 cc yielding a 10% - 37% power increase. It is a very rare car that can be yours for only $2,000 which, I feel, is very realistic for a classic vehicle like this one with the potential that this vehicle has. We offer a 90 day lay away on many of our vehicles. Just break the cost of the vehicle into 4 equal payments 30 days apart, and, once it is paid for, you can take possession of the vehicle.
