AutoWagen was a German automaker in business from it's founding in 1941 until 1992 when it was absorbed into ETK. It started off business making engines and suspension parts for German tanks and farm equipment, eventually changing over to the production of automobiles in 1949. The vehicles made by AutoWagen were largely mid to full size sedans using V6 and V8 engines. From 1949 into the mid 80s AutoWagen cars tended towards simplicity, and inexpensive cars. Some time in the mid 80s, however, AutoWagen cars started tending towards the more extravagant, expensive automobiles that companies like ETK were making. This ended up being the downfall of AutoWagen, as they simply could not make these expensive sport and luxury cars as well as the larger German companies, and they were bought out and absorbed into ETK in 1992.
