While Auto Union built the F89 in West Germany, the Zwickau plant that had passed to the Soviet-controlled GDR was producing the IFA F9. 30,000 or More IFA F9s had been produced initially at Zwickau and subsequently at Eisenach by 1956. Both western and eastern cars were closely based on the DKW F9 prototype first exhibited in 1939.
The estate conversion, offered from late 1951, made extensive use of timber.
