Speaking of DKW, my dad had one in the 60's. I barely remember the car. It
looked liked an early Tbird (The kind used in the TV show, Vegas) but was
much smaller. I believe it was a 3 cylinder and I recall it was pretty noisy. Any body knows what model that is.
Also back then there was another body style which looked like a VW bug and most
probably was a three cylinder as well. My first grade instructor had one of
those....
