Time to move this one up.

What happened to this poor DKW?

Otto Puzzell · October 13, 2009, 03:31:42 PM

Aye, there's the rub.

Is it perchance a prewar Wanderer rather than a DKW ?

Otto Puzzell · October 14, 2009, 04:16:06 AM

It is a DKW, but one that had been modified for a different use than normal. Or so said the person who posted this picture elsewhere on the intraweb.

Complete shot in the dark...the radiator grill is missing so might this be an electric powered DKW?

Otto Puzzell · October 19, 2009, 04:03:14 PM

No - it was not blocked because it didn't need flow, but to specifically prevent it.

Because of a sort of speed record attempt?

Otto Puzzell · October 20, 2009, 05:00:04 AM

No, this thing was actually slow, compared to the road speed of an ordinary DKW

75america · October 20, 2009, 06:08:17 AM

Amphibious?

Otto Puzzell · October 20, 2009, 06:10:46 AM

Yes!

You have the exclusive on this one for 48 hours. I usually say 24 hours, but this one might prove quite elusive.

That is encouraging!

Pro time.

Drip, drip, drip, the time runs way....

It is a modified DKW body on a VW Schwimmwagen frame ( my source said Kubelwagen, but this one is not amphibious... ) ; this job was done by Deel, a coachbuilder from Dresden ( former East Germany )

Otto Puzzell · December 31, 2009, 04:40:39 PM

Yes!

Wendax · December 30, 2015, 06:57:33 AM

I have it as build by a Dresden coachbuilder named Deele, although I couldn't find anything more about him, so the name may be spelt differently.

No visible puzzle pic - and I think it should be "Deele":
