02Production & history

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

No production figures recorded yet.

History

After the war DKW looked back to the F8 to restart car production. With no access to its Spandau body works, it turned to Karosserie Baur of Stuttgart, which built a two-door cabriolet on the old F8 chassis. The car was named F10. It was withdrawn from sale in August 1950 after fewer than 200 cars, and IFA in East Germany built 150 more, all exported.
