emontnyse Store HISTORY BEHIND THE CAR: This is a rare find of a classic German automobile. Before Audi officially became the admirable car company we know today, it started as a merger between several major German automobile companies -- DKW, Audi, Horch, and Wanderer. These companies formed Auto Union and made the reputable logo of Audi's 4 rings known today. The DKW Grosse 3=6 is their major legacy. Most of the production was done in Zwickau, pre-World War II. Unfortunately, by 1949, the Soviets took over East Germany and all of the company's assets within the territory. After 1949, all DKW production was moved to a former guns factory in Düsseldorf leased by Rheinmetall-Borsig. One can see that with the 3=6's particular design, it became the base model for all future Audi designs. Due to the fact that very little were imported into the United States, the 3=6 is difficult to find these days but always timeless.
