Here you can expect exciting quiz questions about our classic cars on a regular basis.
Welcome to our
Classic Car Quiz!
Our videos in the “Der Doc fährt” series have established themselves and found an interested audience. Many viewers have a profound knowledge of classic cars, which they repeatedly demonstrate in the video comments – a real asset.
A YouTube subscriber gave me the idea of highlighting and appreciating this knowledge in quiz form.
That's why, starting at the end of 2024, we will be integrating a classic car quiz into a YouTube video once a month. These videos are marked with this symbol
Two partners are supporting us in this endeavor!
Automuseum Melle: For 40 years now, the Automuseum Melle has been showcasing the history of the automobile as a garage of memories with over 300 vehicles from different eras. What makes it special is that all the vehicles are roadworthy, are regularly driven and also exchanged, so that the exhibition remains alive. Special exhibitions round off the program. Heiner Rössler, a veteran classic car enthusiast and co-initiator of the museum, is helping us to create the quiz questions.
Herrenfahrt Premium Vehicle Care - We are also supported by Herrenfahrt. Andreas Werner and his team are high-end detailing professionals from Heidelberg. They have incorporated their own experience into the Herrenfahrt product line for car washing, interior care, and leather care.
Herrenfahrt provides us with the prize for each quiz—usually a set with a retail value of $50–100.

How much and what significance did the three letters “DKW” have in the company's history?
DKW had four meanings:
- “Dampf-Kraft-Wagen” (steam-powered car) as the starting point for two unsuccessful prototypes
of this design in 1916 - “Des Knaben Wunsch” (the boy's wish) for a toy motor in 1919
- “Das Kleine Wunder” (The Little Wonder) for a bicycle auxiliary motor, also in 1919
- “Deutscher Klein-Wagen” (German Small Car) for the first four-wheeled automobile of its own in 1928
... and then there was the Kühl-Wunder (Cooling Wonder) for a refrigerator that was produced in
Scharfenstein by DKW-Kühlanlagen. However, this was probably already as an independent company
beyond automobile manufacturing.
The prize, the Herrenfahrt box “Ultimate Interior,” goes to Jörg H. – congratulations!
