The yard behind the station is empty of autos, if just one vehicle, then maybe something iconic. Not too large, instead a utilitarian vehicle that has a purpose.
There is something about ‘60s German autos that sets them apart, quite possibly it was their round ‘jelly mould’ shape. Rather than a ubiquitous käfer, an Auto Union ‘station wagon’ was my choice from Wiking, at least 30 years old, the model perfectly captures the shape. It will need titivating with a mirror, wipers and number plates but it is as remembered.
The Auto Union 1000, produced between 1958 and 1963, was a significant post-war model from Auto Union, the precursor to the modern Audi brand. It evolved from the earlier DKW models and was notable for being one of the last mainstream cars to use a two-stroke engine - a 981cc three-cylinder unit that gave the car its ‘1000’ name.
