That Tempo has subsequently been bought by VW in Germany and now resides in their VW Autostadt Wolfsburg Germany Auto Museum . the vehicle was built up in LA in the USA. The guy who did the restoration is currently doing a reubild of both a DKW pickup and DKW panelvan - will be to the same detail and standards as the Tempo.
