This reference book presents all microcars manufactured in Germany between 1945 and 1974, including models from Goliath, Kroboth, Lloyd, Messerschmitt, DKW and Trippel.
Each type is presented with a photo, a historical description and a technical sheet.
With "Deutschen Autos", the main work of the legendary car chronicler Werner Oswald is finally being republished in a condensed form, with a modern, attractive design and new color images.
What has not changed is his inimitable style and his unrivalled expertise, with which he tells the story of the German automobile industry from its beginnings to - in this first volume - the mid-1970s. He meticulously lists everything that left the factory halls of the German automobile manufacturers during this period, creating clarity down to the last niche model.
The convertible is the original form of the automobile. Initially seen as a cheaper alternative to the closed sedan, it soon became a luxury item. Iconic models like the Mercedes Benz 300 SL or the BMW 507 became coveted symbols of the 1950s, before manufacturers like Ford, Opel, and VW made open-top driving affordable for the masses.
This richly illustrated chronicle provides a comprehensive overview of all convertibles built in Germany, from the post-war VW Beetle to the futuristic Audi R8 and the current Mercedes-Benz SL-Class.

Gehen Sie mit der Konjunktur - Die Fünfziger rollen weiter
A look into the family album of the Federal Republic: Alexander F. Storz shows pictures from the time of the economic miracle, when every car made its owner proud. Parked on the side of the road, sometimes dirty and dented, sometimes overloaded, sometimes optically refined with dubious success or badly neglected, but in any case an exquisite panopticon of everyday automobile life on the streets.
Here the 1950s come to life once again from the perspective and through the camera lens of those who experienced them. Authentic everyday shots of a time of optimism and boundless optimism.
