As part of the big family of mdels based on the F9 prototype, the F89 is the first mass production DKW model after the end of the WWII.
Basically the name defines its nature as that 8-9 means that this car is a combo of the F9 desing retaining the two cylinders engine of the F8.
Here we have 23HP under the hood for a car that draw a line that will be kapt quite intact till the first years of the 60s.
One of the peculiarities of the the F89 is that it has a sister. At the end of WWII, with the division of the German territory, the Soviet Union gained control of the east part of the country.
The DKW F9 production projects were found in the abandoned Auto Union factory in Zwickau, so the DDR created a model based on the same prototype: the IFA F9. The body is almost identical to the F9 (and F89) and it retained the same F8 engine (even the F8 has been cloned by the IFA).
I really appreciate these lines. The descending back (look at the second pic) gives to these 2 doors cars a distinctive look. I’ve been glad to put the car in the last #tccchallenge that turned out as one of the toughtest of the season.
