Comfort and Class

This Auto Union Coupe has been in dry storage for the last 13 years, which would explain this clean and tidy interior which shows very little age. Plush upholstery cascades over a wooden dash that has been meticulously maintained, giving it that 60's classy feel.

A Sign of the Times

The Jet Age was in full swing in the 1960s and this Auto Union Coupe carries much of the inspired design language trend at the time. With over-pronounced fins and rocket lights, this coupe is a real page out of the history books.
