Adler Trumpf
The Adler Trumpf is a small family car introduced by the Frankfurt based auto-maker, Adler in March 1932, though Trumpf production only got under way in the late summer of that year.Oswald, p 19 In a move reminiscent of British Leyland in the 1970s, Adler launched two similarly sized cars in the same year, one of which followed the then new trend set by DKW for front-wheel drive, and one employing the conventional rear-wheel drive configuration still used by the market leader, Opel. The Trumpf was the second of these two smaller Adlers to enter volume production, at the end of the Summer in 1932, and was the front wheel drive offering. The innovative design was the responsibility of Hans Gustav Röhr (1895 – 1937).Oswald, p 19 The Trumpf was distinguished from its more conservatively configured Primus sibling both by its front wheel drive and by its relatively advanced independent suspension. Engine At launch the car was offered with a four cylinder 1,504 cc engine fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cars Introduced In 1932
A car or automobile is a motor vehicle with wheels. Most definitions of ''cars'' say that they run primarily on roads, seat one to eight people, have four wheels, and mainly transport people instead of goods. The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the car, when German inventor Carl Benz patented his Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Cars became widely available during the 20th century. One of the first cars affordable by the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. Cars were rapidly adopted in the US, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts. In Europe and other parts of the world, demand for automobiles did not increase until after World War II. The car is considered an essential part of the developed economy. Cars have controls for driving, parking, passenger comfort, and a variety of lights. Over the decades, additional features and controls have been added to vehicles, making them progressively more complex. These i ...
