Warden Callaway Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 We ramped onto the divided highway behind a pickup pulling a small trailer that was loaded with a riding lawnmower. I thought it looked suspicious so kepted my distance. Sure enough, going up the next grade, the mower came off the trailer. It kept up for a bit then went off on the sholder and took out some bushes. The truck driver pulled over so no harm was done except for the mower. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audi's first car was built in 1910, they merged with three other companies (DKW, Horch and Wanderer) in 1932 and became Auto Union. The four rings on the badge represent the four founder companies, this car was built by Auto Union that later went on to become Audi, so technically it’s not an Audi, Designed as prototype by engineer Paul Jaray as an aerodynamic exercise, the car was way ahead of its time, but its unconventional styling, deemed it unsuitable (to ugly) for production and that it simply would not sell. Emphasised by its high stature and narrow wheels, sharply sloping lines and shark fin spoiler reminiscent of the much larger Tatra.designed under Hans Ledwinka, It’s a shame that no originals have survived,but this reconstruction shows a vehicle that was ahead of its time. The Swan or Ugly Duckling www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcOpfqEamrY advertisement was aired in 2012 for the lauch of the streamlinned Audi A5. The advert has the sound track of the 1952 Danny Kaye hit, The Ugly Duckling, and features the Paul Jaray car in black and white as the misunderstood vehicle driving through a small Bavarian village, were local residents mock and scowl at it. The sad Audi finally retires to a nearby forest, where (film switches to colour) it is transformed into a white, streamlined 2012 Audi A5 version of itself, whose exterior hints at the lines of the original concept car but is a lot less visually jarring.

The one in the picture is an example of what they looked like. The one that I knew had a DKW emblem on the hood and the deck lid. It had a detachable hardtop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
