It is a DKW F 93 Cabriolette Winterthur from 1957.  A very limited number of this car was built.  This one was shown at Schwetzingen in 2009.  But I doubt that Cabriolette is a very appropriate name.

Apologies pguillem, my check unread posts doesn't seem to work at times.
It is a DKW F93 but I don't have the Cabriolette Winterthur model name.
I have what I believe is the name of the bodybuilder.
I'll lock it for you in case you have this name.

The Schwetzingen site only mentions "DKW F93 3=6 Carrosserie Winterthur, 1957".  So Winterthur is the bodywork and bye bye, poor Cabriolette !

You are correct and another point for you.
I had the name Schmid as the coachbuilder but I've noted your source and agree with you.
Perhaps Herr Schmid was the man behind Carrosserie Winterthur?

Gerhard "Gody" Schmid built three GT cars on a DKW / Auto Union chassis, the car pictured above, another coupe and a roadster: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2012-41/sac226-dkw-f93-by-gerhard-schmid-(swiss-)-1965
