:think: Sure, that it's orign Germany? It's not listed in the model-range at Wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DKW
Or was it a ready made prototype, which was given away, together with the production-tools? So something similar as the Hanomag F20, which was created originally by Vidal & Sohn, the "Tempo"-maker. Like the DAF77/Volvo 343, the NSU K 70/VW K 70 or the Audi sportscar-project/Porsche 924.

Strange that it is not listed on the wiki-page...
I remember these vans driving around in Holland, and I have two DKW brochures that list them:

Some single were also running in Germany. I have some dark memory-fragments of my childhood about such a Van. Maybe the potato-delivery-man in my grandmother' village or so...? :think: Not the newspaper-man. He had an AWS Shopper. And the fish-man a 1950ies BMW-bike with a Sidecar. The Sidecar was an ice-box on wheels.
On the countryside you could see such vehicles still in the lates 70ies.

Those vans were an Spanish development, and were imported into some european and south american countries.

Origin and built in Spain.

Never imported here "this".

No, but was imported to other South American countries.

In the other hand, the Auto Union Combi and Pickup and IME Rastrojero Frontalito had bodies based on the spanish DKW F 1000

Based in the original german, no spanish-connection. IME, and IMETAL too, use the cabs after IASF SA dissapear in 1969.

Well the bodies, specially the front is very similar to the DKW F1000.

I find those argentinian brands VERY interesting! :-)

Gomselmash11

2011-08-25 19:24

Obviously, its the same. Sure.
Thanks ;)

EDIT: Uruguay receives some vans from Spain, i think. But the rest, i doubt.

Then, there is spanish connection, (at least on the body design) as the DKW F 1000 is entirely spanish (Except the engine, designed in Germany bothe the petrl DKW and Diesel Mercedes Benz). :-)

What engines did use the argentinian models? DKW petrol? Any diesel engine?

According http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/r/rastrojero.htm#frontalito Indenor XD Diesel engine.

"En 1969, aparece un nuevo modelo el F 71 frontal (desde 1974 SM 81) conocido como Frontalito, utilizando la carrocería de los últimos frontales fabricados AUTO UNIÓN. Se ofrecen las versiones: caja de madera; caja metálica; chasis con cabina, furgón, minibus y doble cabina".

Thanks a lot for that info! So they used the Indenor engine, instead of the Mercedes Benz. Seems curious, due the connections between DKW and Mercedes. Maybe due the close of Auto Union in Argentina they had to look for another source.

Interesting webpage, by the way! :-D

Mercedes-Benz had the brand new 608 D (in this time) and nothing relation with IASF SA and the DKW/Auto Union brand here.
For nothing ;)

Many thanks again for your explanation. So Mercedes and Auto Union did not keep their relationships in Argentina? Exactly the contrary than in Spain.

Is great to see how similar models evolve so differently thru the years!

Or due the fact, that the end of the alliance was in 1965, when Mercedes Benz had sold the Auto Union to Volkswagen.

But the first post-war Audi, the F103, still had the Mercedes-logo on the engine, because it was originally an engine, Mercedes Benz had constructed in the 50ies for military usages, but it was never used. The legendary Ludwig Kraus ( http://www.audi-100-coupe-s.de/geschichte.html ) took the engine with him, when he got the order to save to the nearly dead Auto Union (because of the two-stroke-wrong track). In fact it was a stopgap survival-kit for the forur rings.

Great information, Ingo! thanks a lot!.

It's curious, despite the end of the alliance in 1965, in Spain this DKW F-1000 became another spanish exclusive built van: the Mercedes N series.

Mercedes hadn't sold everything of the Auto Union. So they kept the DKW-plant in Düsseldorf for the assembling of light Transporters. So still nowadays they produce the Sprinter there.
As Wikipedia says ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DKW ) the Brazilian VEMAG was sold in 1967 to VW do Brazil.

@Blackwalls: For nothing. Nothing to do here.
@Ingo: Here, the plant of IASF SA (DKW-Auto Union)was sold to Fiat VI and in Sauce Viejo, Santa Fe (near the airport) produces until 1980 tractors and some forklifts.
