Lets make a overview of all the existing Dannenhauer & Stauss. From some D&S owners I heart that they have a list of known cars. Currently 18 examples are known of with 13 of them are drivable/restored. 2 * 1951 2 * 1952 11 * 1953 3 * 1954 The wish of a lot of owner is to remain anonymous, what is logical. I respect this wish, so will provide no names, but only the country were the car is located. Who can add pictures of other cars to this list. (there are still 3 cars missing!!)

I am not sure. I have tried with a magnified iron on 5 of them in my garage and none of them could hold the magnet....:shock: Just kidding. No clue on them. At least one or two of them are made in iron.....the pick-ups.

Here some more prove that a D&S is made of metal. they can rust !! And it looks like they had to brake down a wall to get this car out. [img]https://www.typ15.de/pics/lost+found/00070738.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.typ15.de/pics/lost+found/00070740.jpg[/img]

let's not forget to include the forerunner of the Dannenhauer and Stauss... otherwise known as the Auto Technic Some of my photos of it have been posted by Everett Barnes on theSamba... I am not positive that this is an Auto Technic... but it sure looks close.

Interesting - congratulations LK! Patrik: "The white car in Mexico" surely must be identical to number 19 on your list. No 19 was white and was in Mexico...came to Arizona in 1997...then on to North-eastern USA and became restored and burgundy.. There can not be two white Mexico-cars "in the world"...?

Or there must be another red/burgundy in the US. Patrick

Hi Patrick, I have a copy of the Coachbuilt VW club VW elite from jan 2006 in wich a Austrian D&S is posted in white color I think. It wears a Wiener licence plate. Owner was a certain mr Ettel. I'll try to scan it in but the pict is on normal paper and not glossy so it is not that clear. Okrasa engine with mushroom filters, dual hella fanfare horns, center antenna on split screen front window and smeperit logo on the back below the engine cover . best regards....:lol: now I need a new heb from you....8)

Speaking of the Shaill-writings. Between us in here I assume we have about everything Shaill has written on coachbuilts... be it the UK Spit Club newsletters, the IVVM Magazine, the Coachbuilt Registry newsletters and the VW Elite magazines... Has anybody a) asked Bob for permission to scan and post (whole magazines I mean)...b) Digitalized these wonderful things? How about getting permission to digitalize and then share some of these? Fantastic sources for information...and the 1985-95 material is no doubt the most important reason why I am a coachbuilt-fanatic myself...

Thanks for putting this post together, D&S's are my favourite coach built. Hessisch 2005 was like metal porn for me, I spent a very long time just sitting taking in the amazing line up of cars. I was cheesed off with myself for my very poor German, when I found out who was speaking on the Saturday evening too, loved seeing the drawings - would love to have a copy of those on my garage walls for inspiration. I sat and chatted with the Australian guy who bought the black 54, lucky guy. If you work hard enough dreams can come true, I have the garage space...

Patrick, gents, Please don't bet any cars ... it's too risky :-) I run the "D&S World Registry" since 1977, which contains some 800 photos of 43 different D&S cars. A world compendium about D&S is in preparation. A part-photo of the missing black DNS in the USA is attached, so is a photo-clip of number 19 (1953) from Germany (PS: I might send these pics to Patrick as I cannot upload them for whatever reason). Please make sure that the correct spelling is always used, being: DANNENHAUER & STAUSS. Cheers. Andy. *** [ATTACH]5019[/Attach] [ATTACH]5020[/Attach]

Welcome to the forum Andy :beer: I've admired and been a fan of the D&S since photos of your green car were published in Colin Burnham's Air Cooled VW's book about 25 years ago. :wink: I just realised how old that makes me feel! :lol:

Posted by: SplitPersonality - 03 November 2010 09:30:04
Wow - Andy Luzzi.. Welcome to the forum! The pictures of your green one also inspired me to start hunting for coachbuilts almost 20 years ago. I even have a "pre-internet-days" letter from yourself describing how un-obtainable the D&S was/is based on my request to buy one... So - Andy - enlighten us: How many were built and how many are known? And I guess I can keep my Coupe, since the Patrick-list grew from 18 to 19 just after my post...

[quote=overrestored]let's not forget to include the forerunner of the Dannenhauer and Stauss... otherwise known as the Auto Technic [img]https://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/180627.jpg[/img][/quote] quoting oneself... very odd... but due to a CORRECTION! I found some more Auto Technic shots today on my old Apple IIci!. Prior to today I thought this car was an Auto Technic... but the shots of that car... show that it is very different from this car. -The windscreen is significantly shorter than this car. -The doors open the other way -the rear end is a lot different. So I don't know what this car is. perhaps it is somewhere between an Auto Technic and a Dannenhauer and Stauss.... I really don't know. I will post the other shots of the actual Auto Technic when I can figure out how to get them off my 25 year OLD computer! I need to find some old discs... and then find a disc drive with a firewire or USB cable to plug into my iMac... or figure a way to get that antique computer hooked directly to my new mac. I totally forgot I even had these shots until today!

The current owner will continue with the restoration ans eventually finish it, but for now it is unknown when that will be.

pbaptist, you have a Private Message. [quote=pbaptist]Lets make a overview of all the existing Dannenhauer & Strauss. From some D&S owners I heart that they have a list of known cars. Currently 18 examples are known of with 13 of them are drivable/restored. 2 * 1951 2 * 1952 11 * 1953 3 * 1954 The wish of a lot of owner is to remain anonymous, what is logical.

I am looking through this intersting thread again. Mr Luzzi comented he has pictures of 43 different D&S VW-cars. Does that mean that only 43 were made...or were there more? Does anybody know for ceratin what the production was?

Posted by: pbaptist - 03 February 2011 21:55:05
He oystein There are two different productionnumbers mentioned in books. 135 and around 80. The last is the most logical, but if you conseder the looks of the car it would be hard to beleive that only 22% have survived. Maybe the 80 cars is all the cars D&S made, so inclusive the ca 15 DKW Monza's build. Patrick

Two in the same container? I guess the risk-asessment for transatlantic ocean freight did not take the rarity and survival rate into account...

The unrestored terracota red car with grey patches of primer was the car of Randy in the USA, an avid VW enthusiasts who owned numerous cars in the 80ies, and was great fun to know.

Here is a picture of the D&S Hardtop coupe that was hidden in a barn in Oregon for the last 38 years. [img]https://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/814083.jpg[/img]

Thanks for sharing Patrick. I think the new owner will be happy. Does it stay in the US?

After the find of the D&S coupe, it was time to update the overview of existing D&S cars. I now also added the repro from Belgium and the hack-up body in germnay [img]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-75IamQbzwuY/TkBGhEW5fWI/AAAAAAAABNQ/nOHt03aOqdo/s720/Dannenhauer%252520overview%25257E2.jpg[/img]
