THE BLUE CLOUD

Published by the DKW Club of America (Yearly or so)

THE BLUE CLOUD is the offical publication of the DKW Club of America, but it really is a reference to the burning of oil by a combustion engine. The DKW/Auto Union engine was designed to be a two stroke engine, therefore oil is burned with each ignition of fuel. The oil produces a blue hue to the exaust, and therefore when these vehicales are running they produce a blue cloud.

For our purposes, THE BLUE CLOUD will be the place where you can get information about DKW cars, as well as read up about DKW activies around the world.
