History
DKW F89 Sonderklasse
The DKW F89 Sonderklasse was one of the first new car designs to emerge from post-war Germany, featuring DKW's characteristic two-stroke three-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive layout. Its streamlined body with integrated headlights represented modern styling for the early 1950s. The lightweight construction and efficient engine made it economical to run during difficult economic times. DKW became West Germany's largest car manufacturer in the 1950s, largely due to models like the F89.
