DKW does not build many cars like the DKW F10: a 2-door sedan (automobile) / saloon / 2-door cabriolet (automobile) / cabriolet with 688 cc two stroke I2, built from 1949 to 1950 in a decade split by war, when civilian production stopped and restarted.
The story
The DKW F10 was a car sold by DKW of Ingolstadt, West Germany, during 1949 and the early part of 1950 only. It was the first postwar car produced by the firm, though they initially utilized leftover or damaged pre-war stock of F8 chassis, powered by existing stock of 688 cc, two-stroke two-cylinder F8 engines (around 180 such examples were produced). The F8 had originally been built between 1939 and 1942.
What is underneath
Under the skin sits 688 cc two stroke I2. The gearbox is a 3-speed manual. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Where it sits in DKW's history is not in doubt: the DKW F8 came before it; the DKW F89 followed it; it was built at Ingolstadt, Germany. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Chevrolet Bel Air, the Porsche 356, the Citroën 2CV. Nearby in the DKW catalogue sit the DKW 3=6 and the DKW CD Manzel.
The money
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the DKW F10 has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
