DKW F11 =6 Coupe F93 third owner car, fully restored condition 1957

General description : In its 60-year history, since it was bought in in Sweden in 1957, the car has had 3 owners. During an extensive 2-year restoration process in 2006-2008, the roof profile of this DKW type/model F93 was modified to create a different coupe look. The ‘bare metal, body-off’ restoration has resulted in bodywork with well fitting panels, gleaming chrome work and a very neat paint finish. Mechanically the 3-cylinder 2-stroke engine runs extremely well due to the great condition it is in. The whole restoration process has been photographically documented. In short an unusual history and a unique DKW 3=6 ‘pillarless’ coupe. !

About DKW
Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round for a story that's as American as apple pie but set in the heart of Germany. We're diving into the history of DKW, the German car and motorbike manufacturer that was like a hidden gem in the automotive world.

Now, let's set the stage. It's the mid-20th century, and the automotive landscape is dominated by names like Ford and Chevrolet. But here's where DKW comes in, ready to take on the competition like an underdog with a heart of gold.

DKW was known for their innovative spirit, and when they introduced the DKW F1, they turned the automotive world on its head. While everyone else was peddling rear-wheel-drive cars, DKW said, "Why not put the engine up front, where it belongs?" It was like they threw a curveball right at the big American car manufacturers.

The DKW F1 was nimble, efficient, and affordable, a David amongst the Goliaths. It handled like a breeze, making the VW Beetle, a tough competitor, look like a lumbering giant in comparison. It was as if DKW brought a slingshot to the battle, and boy, did it work.

But here's the real star of the DKW show - the Schnellaster. This commercial van was ahead of its time, with front-wheel drive that made it a game-changer. While the VW Beetle was making waves as a people's car, the Schnellaster was the unsung hero, the guiding star for every front-wheel-drive commercial van we see on the road today.

The Schnellaster was the workhorse that could haul a load with the grace of an American cowboy. Its two-stroke engine had the heart of a true Texan - reliable, strong, and a touch of rugged charm. It could carry goods with the same ease as an American pickup truck, and that's saying something.

So, when you see a modern FWD commercial van effortlessly weaving through the city streets, remember the unsung hero, the Schnellaster, the van that set the stage for all the others. DKW may not have had the fame of some other automakers, but they sure left their mark on the world of automobiles.

In a land of automotive giants, DKW was the plucky underdog that showed the world a thing or two about innovation and practicality. And that, my friends, is a tale worthy of a big American smile and a nod of respect.
