Alexander ◊ 2006-01-16 23:02	It is the DKW 3=6 Typ F94 as produced between February and August 1957. It has the new grille (Feb'57) and the old style 'suicidal doors' (replaced Sep'57). http://www.dkw-autos.de/

Exiv96 ◊ 2006-01-16 23:48	3=6 was also its slogan. A 3 cylinder, two-stroke engine was as good as a 6 cylinder, four-stroke engine, according to DKW.

From 1959 onwards, the car (like all other DKWs) was sold as an Auto Union DKW and received the famous four rings prominently tucked on the grille. The cars in the movie might be actual Polizei versions, not movie props, since the 1957-59 'civilian' F94 had "3=6" scriptplates on the front wings behind the wheel arches. 'De-badging' was common practice with the German police. -- Last edit: 2006-01-17 02:36:14
