DKW F7

The DKW F7 is a front-wheel-drive, two-stroke, subcompact family car launched by Auto Union’s DKW division in 1937, succeeding their DKW F5 range. In the F7 update, the slightly smaller entry-level 'Reichsklasse' body was dropped – instead all F7s, including the base trim, now got the slightly longer body previously reserved for the 'Meisterklasse' model.
