The German car manufacturer Staunau had a company history that could not have been more contrasting. On the one hand, the first model enjoyed considerable success, while on the other hand, individual models in the product range had the reputation of being "such a barbaric automobile", to quote AMS (issue 15/1951). This historical report from 1973 sheds light on Staunau's entire company history, supplemented by historical data sheets and a few pictures.
