[Vwdiesel] Nice Audi

[William J Toensing]

The 4 circles represents the Auto Union or the merger of Horsh, Wanderer, Audi, & DKW. As I recall, stood for in German, "The Small Wonder". The Horsh was an expensive car that competed with the Maybach  & big Mercedes. It & the Wandurer died during WW2. After the war, as I recall, what ended up in the DDR or East Germany of Auto Union became the Wartburg. 
Back in 1964 I owned for a short period of time, a 1958 DKW having swapped a rusty 1955 Nash Ambassador V-8 for it. It had a 4 speed transmission on the steering column but the shift patturn was backwards, as I recall. If I recall correctly, low was where low was on an American 3 speed column shift. second was where reverse was on an American car, 3rd was where high was on an American car, & the DKW high was where 2ed was on am American car. The DKW had a 2 cycle engine & mine was a 2 door hardtop.
