  • DKW F94U Sonderklasse Universal

    DKW F94U Sonderklasse Universal

      Here we have a very rare (in the US, especially) little wagon, which once served as a sensible family car in postwar Germany and was part of the group that would eventually become Audi.

  • 1964 Auto Union (DKW) F1000 Diesel

    Among oddball European van fans (all six of us), the DKW Schnellaster is fairly well known. What isn’t widely known in the US is that a lot were produced in Spain and the Spanish DKW subsidiary went on to produce a successor. That successor is today’s feature.

  • Sun-Baked, FWD, German Psuedo-Luxury: 1969 Audi 100LS

    Sun-Baked, FWD, German Psuedo-Luxury: 1969 Audi 100LS

    No, sun-baked doesn’t indicate a convertible today, it means this poor car has been baked in the sun for far too many years.  What is it?  Volkswagen group’s first front-engine, front-wheel-drive, water-cooled sedan, the Audi 100LS. We confess to previously having been only barely aware of this car’s existence, but a quick interwebs search revealed…

  • Go Electric or Go Original? Semi-Converted NSU Prinz 30

    Go Electric or Go Original? Semi-Converted NSU Prinz 30

    We’ve featured the NSU Prinz 30 before, so we’ve briefly explained that it was a German brand acquired by VW and rolled into Audi in the 60s.  These tend to pop up as projects, and today’s feature is no exception.  Our last Prinz 30, which was attached to a pallet, makes this “rescued-from-the-hedge-but-complete” example look great!…

  • Auto Union 1000 S!

    Auto Union 1000 S!

    We at Oddimotive have heard of Auto Union and know that it became Audi in the 60s and, itself, was made up of a number of pre-war companies.  Any Auto Union is exceptionally rare in the US – possibly for good reason, as these two-stroke cars are better suited for the Eastern Bloc. The engine…

  • DKW 3=6 FTW

    DKW 3=6 FTW

    If you thought Saab’s 9-3 naming was slightly confusing, you need a DKW 3=6.  Post-war Auto Union, which would eventually become Audi, revived the DKW name for certain vehicles.  This was one of their answers to the VW Beetle (before Audi was acquired by VW). Here we have 900cc of two-stroke, water-cooled, inline three cylinder…

  • NSU Sport Prinz

    NSU Sport Prinz

    Here’s a rare little beast from NSU, one of a few brands bought by Volkswagen and rolled into what we now know as Audi.  The ad text below gives plenty of info which we won’t repeat, but suffice it to say this is a cool little Italian-designed sportster. This is likely to be awesomely slow,…
