The DKW lineup. As part of the Auto Union that later became Audi, DKW was ahead of it's time. The model to the left, a DKW 3=6, was the first mass produced front engine/front wheel drive car. It became an inspiration for cheap motoring. There would be no Volkswagen Beetle without it.

In 1964 Edsel Ford II received a uniquely customized Mustang for his 16th birthday. Some "euro-spec" hood mounted side mirrors, a pearlescent white paint job, and aluminum interior were added. 

It was totaled by a friend of Edsel's.
