DKW became very famous for their motorbikes in the 1920s. Founder engineer Jørgen Rasmussen (1878-1964) started in 1926 with the production of electro-delivery vehicles. In 1928 he followed with motorcars.
In 1932 DKW merged with Audi, Horch and Wander into Auto Union.

This car has a wooden frame body covered with imitation leather on a central tubular chassis.
New for the F8 was a bonnet with a double row of ventilation slots, and small triangle-shape ventilation windows for the front doors. The wind-screen wipers moved to the upper side.
This red-black colour combination was often used by DKW in the 1930s.
