Another Lady Driver Drophead Mystery.

Very similar to the recent 'Polka dot Mystery' which appeared to be a Hanomag Rekord. Still this drophead is not quite the same. And not only due to the striped dress of the charming driver. This time we see a RHD car with different rearwings, hubcaps and more. Maybe the umbrella style gearstick is another give away. We leave it to you. Ah, this may be a help, we nearly forgot to add the second view on driver and car. We're looking forward to read your opinion.

Would have to agree with all the comments. Michael, I looked up your website, what fascinating photos. Seeing the photo of the early F2 brings back a fond memory from my youth. In 1960 at the age of fourteen I went with my father to a caryard in Oakleigh, a suburb here in Melbourne. In there was an early DKW with a two seater coupe body, most probably Australian built. Dad said to me, when you are old enough you should buy something like that, but I never did.
Whenever I think of it I can still imagine the smell of the two stroke fuel that it had.

I agree with Sven and Anders - the car on the second photo is definitively not identical with the first one.

Most likely the second picture shows a DKW F4 or F5 "Cabrio-Limousine" with the chrome trim following precisely the sloping rear part of the car - a distinct feature of the 2-stroke DKWs in the mid- and late 1930s.

Please refer to my online gallery showing all prewar models built by DKW:

I also doubt that the cabriolet on the first picture is right-hand driven. The lady seems to be leaning towards the left, in order to get her left hand at the steering wheel.

At least the second photo is of a German DKW Cabrio-Limousine

The same girl but probably not the same car. The seccond picture a small DKW F5 or later development from the mid 30-ties with non folding roof beams over the doors. The first picture a much larger fully collapsable cabriolet.
