Yes, I think you are correct....a typo on my part.

That green one looks like a DKW Junior. It had front disc brakes and a three cylinder two stroke engine.

Yes, you re correct on the DKW. Now, for the second part, if you remember......what engineering feature did DKWs introduce?

Saw this today — I know it’s probably obvious the brand and I edited it out, but what was this model called?
I probably saw these in my childhood, but not since — can’t believe this one is still running and on the road.
There’s that wooden panel that we all love…🙄

...Looks like it would have been a good competitor for the 1950s 2-seat Ford Thunderbird..more so than with the Corvette.
