DKW Musical Exhaust Melodies

My old 1958 DKW 3=6 comes out for a winter drive to play some naturally harmonic exhaust music during this joyous holiday season. The introductory and concluding text includes a ringtone sound bite from our DKW friend Flavio from Brazil. South American DKW's sound the same as American DKW's

Back in 1964 I had one in San Francisco. Mine had a Saxomat automatic clutch, which I thought was totally useless. There was NOONE in town who knew how to service the car and the ignition system gave me trouble. Still I remember the car fondly, because of its beauty and uncommon performance. Fully loaded with lugagge, doing 85 to 90 mph all day long on trips to Las Vegas, never missed a beat. The quality was strictly world class. This car, with an electronic ignition, fuel injection and todays high quality oil would be a hands-down winner.

I know that two-strokes, with their excessive burning of oil, is bad for the environment, but I absolutely love the sound of one screaming down the road at high revs! And DKW developed some of the best two-stroke engines ever.

Ours didn't sound like that. But then again, we bought ours on Cyprus for use there, took it to Turkey with us by ship. Drove it there while stationed there. Took it to Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan and back. Then had it shipped to NY. Drove it from NY to Norfolk, VA. Then after the Cuban Missile Crisis, on down to Florida. RH drive version. Miss the old car. Need to find a chassis for a 1962 Junior as I had the drivetrain for one of them.

Awesome!!, my dad have one (1967 i am from Argentina, this country made this car too, check out the fissore model ), very comfortable and powerful, i remember when i have 10 years old when my dad teached me to drive with this car, he let me to star and acelerate the engine all the time, that model was four door and the front doors were suicide doors, the interior was very similar to our car.Keep it going :) (sorry for my bad english)

Meu pai teve um DKW. Sempre foi apaixonado. Um abraço aqui do Brasil.

Tuve un DKW color naranja con el techo blanco, lo vendí a un familiar, y después de un tiempo volví a comprarlo, un dulce recuerdo porque viaje con el, trabaje con el e hice todo lo que se puede hacer con un auto y no me dejo nunca a pie.

If I had your collection I would drive a different car every day to work and on the weekends that would be so awesome you living the dream

3:19 actually there are four kids because there are 2 two-stroke kids and 2=4.

[inspirality]

That is a sweet sound. It makes a nice change from the ubiquitous rumble and burble of modern engines. Music indeed.

Miss all my Deeks: all I have left now is my 1000SP, hopefully to be back OTR, soon!

Only 3 automobiles around the world have their engines' hints, children used to guess 2 blocks before " dad is coming!" thanks to their noise nobody could mistake :
this DKW 3-6 "1000s" ( as known in Argentina ), plus Volkswagen Kafer / Kombi and the "washing machine lovely sound" of all Citroën 2cv, Ami & Mehari .

i remember mine 1961 dkw 1000s four doors, fast car 2strokes 3 cylinders

The 50 year old stinker 3=6 uses a mix of 1:50 2stroke oil to petrol. In Western Germany these smell rises at the end of 1989, when the DDR became a fallen State and the Trabbies go West. As a young man I have some of those Cars in 1970. They cost only 20 to 120€, Radio and flowerholder integrated! In Winter with Spikes in the Front tyres.

WHAT GREAT CRACKLE IT HAS !

SOME DAY SOON MY GOLIATH WILL SOUND LIKE 2/3ds OF THAT .
