David,
Yes, they were imported to the states.  The 2-stroke engine necessitated the
use of premix, or an uneasy reliance on the troublesome oil injection pump
that Auto Union had developed (often resulting in a siezed engine in the
dead of winter), and they had only 50 hp.  IOW, they didn't sell too well in
the "Land of Horsepower".  There are a number for sale in the DKW Club of
America's newsletter, actually 3 in a job lot of 5 Auto Unions in Reno, NV
(price not mentioned) and one for $4,500 in Denver, CO.
As for the actual number imported to the US, I would have to defer to the
more senior members of the Club.
