German "baby Thunderbird" on Ebay

This is probably the best looking Auto Union I've seen for sale in the U.S., looks like a relic of the American 1950s..they nicknamed it the "baby Thunderbird." I've been watching it for several days and no bids at 9k, I doubt it will sell for 19k. It's hard to know what this is worth, since Auto Union cars were never imported into the U.S. and there's not much out there on them.
Other Makes : Auto Union DKW:eBay Motors (item 140363811085 end time Dec-06-09 16:22:20 PST)



They put the radiator behind the engine


AU rings..looks like someone slapped an Audi badge on a 1st gen. Thunderbird

If GM built that car today they would sell out! Those lines are timeless...

Why would GM want to build something that looks like a Ford?


Oh yeah...because it would sell!

DKW (Auto Union) was imported to the US in the '60's. were sold by the Studebaker dealer in Albuquerque.

It was a 2 door sedan.

There is one of those 'T-birds' in Denver, was at a car show last summer.

They are all 2-stroke engines. Early SAAB's used DKW (popcorn popper) engines.
