The DKW Schnelllaster set the pace in the economic miracle
After the dreary war years, people in the 1950s loved the radiance of the colorful car paint. DKW delivered many of its high-speed trucks in a sky-blue design. From 1955 to 1962 the Transporter was built as Type 3 with a three-cylinder engine with 896 cubic centimeters and 32 hp. The DKW Schnelllaster 3 = 6 was initially created as a panel van and thus created a bridge to the years of reconstruction after the war. The DKW Transporter was seen as a manoeuvrable vehicle for the first transport tasks in local delivery and distribution traffic. The prototype was also referred to as 3 = 6 because, according to the bold advertising lines of the Auto Union at the time, its engine ensured "three power impulses per crankshaft revolution, just like the six-cylinder four-stroke engine".
