The Mercedes-Benz W118 / W119 prototype is presented internally in 1958. Pay attention to the different doors: one door on the left and two doors on the right. On April 1, 1958, Daimler-Benz bought a share of Auto-Union and took over the company completely by the end of 1959. Business there with the DKW F 102 with a two-stroke engine was bad. In short, the Mercedes-Benz W118 / W119 was slightly redesigned. In 1965, the DKW F 103 was created, equipped with a four-stroke engine. In the same year, Auto-Union was sold by Daimler-Benz to Volkswagen. You could also say: the bride was made pretty!
