"Very nicely restored example of an extremely rare car. Everything works and is of a high standard."

Beschreibung

A rare and desirable car with an interesting history. The car was purchased in 1953 by an owner in Kristianstad, who kept it until 1961.
That year, Björn Eklund in Ronneby bought it and used it as his daily driver – including taking his wife on their honeymoon trip to Paris in 1968.

When they returned, Björn decided it was time for a restoration, so the car was taken off the road. A serious renovation was started with disassembly and repainting, but as time passed the project became more and more distant from completion. Meanwhile, the current owner, Per Hansson, had learned that the car was stored in Björn’s laundry room and expressed his interest in buying it. In the autumn of 2022, he was finally able to purchase the car with the promise that Björn would get a ride once it was finished – by then it had been sitting for 44 years.

An intensive restoration was then launched with the goal of completing it in time for the Nostalgia Festival 2023. The effort succeeded, and the DKW was awarded 3rd prize. An article about the car and its restoration was published in Nostalgia magazine, issue no. 12, 2023.

Fakten zum Modell

After World War II, Auto Union resumed operations in West Germany. The DKW brand was the first within the group to start producing cars again. The first postwar model was the DKW F89 Meisterklasse, introduced in 1950.

Model Overview

The F89 was based on the prewar F8 and the planned F9 (which never reached production in Nazi Germany). The result was a car with a two-cylinder, two-stroke engine of 684 cm³ producing about 23 hp. The engine drove the front wheels – DKW was known for front-wheel drive long before it became common in Europe.

The Cabriolet Version

In addition to the regular two-door sedan and the “Universal” estate version, a Cabriolet was also offered. This was not built directly by Auto Union, but by Karmann in Osnabrück – the same coachbuilder later famous for the VW Karmann Ghia and many Volkswagen convertibles.

The cabriolet featured:

An elegant two-door body with a folding roof

The same technical underpinnings as the F89 sedan

A more exclusive feel, aimed at buyers wanting a small but stylish car

Production numbers were very limited. It is estimated that only a few hundred examples were built between 1950 and 1952, making the model extremely rare today.

The DKW F89 Meisterklasse Cabriolet symbolized the cautious rebuilding of the German car industry after the war. It combined simple mechanics and a two-stroke engine with an elegance that stood out in the otherwise modest car market of the early 1950s.
