Taunus 12M (1952–1959) "Weltkugelmodell". The new two-door, smooth-surfaced pontoon body with 13″ wheels and the petrol engine known from its predecessor with 1172 cm³ - strengthened to 38 hp (28 kW) - was published in January 1952. From December 1952 Cabriolets (manufactured by Karl Deutsch GmbH) with two or four seats were offered. All cars had a full-length bench seat at the front, following the American model. The Taunus runs very well, the transmission can be shifted solidly, only the brake pressure of the brake is not sufficient. But all in all a solid vehicle. There are only a few well-preserved models like this on the market. The vehicle can be visited and picked up in Weilburg Germany.
