A day brought to you,
in somewhat smoky fashion, by Wartburg. The last one is a Caravan and they’re big mon
ey if you find yourself possessed of a good one.
The smoke comes from here.
No, it’s not back to front, it’s one of several derivatives of a pre war DKW engine that originall
y had thermosy
phon cooling (no water pump) so the radiator had to be mounted high up which dictated a location behind the engine and therefore e rear mounted fan.

I’m no Torchinsky, lusting after bizarre vehicles, but for some reason, I really like these ever since I learned of them. They just seem like a fun little ride, and they look cool in their unique way.

Yay! Am I weird for actually liking the later boxy more commie-looking 353
models more...?
