==DKW in South America==
From 1956 to 1967, DKW cars were made in Brazil by the local company Vemag (''Veículos e Máquinas Agrícolas S.A.'', "Vehicles and Agricultural Machinery Inc.").<ref>{{cite journal|year=1973|journal=Automobile Quarterly|volume=11|issue=4|title=Vemag|quote=the Vemag company that had been manufacturing two-stroke DKW models under license in Brazil.}}</ref> Vemag was assembling [[Scania-Vabis]] trucks, but Scania Vabis became an independent company in July 1960.<ref name=shapiro>{{cite journal | title = Determinants of Firm Entry into the Brazilian Automobile Manufacturing Industry, 1956–1968 | ref = HShap | first = Helen | last = Shapiro | volume = 65 | journal = The Business History Review | number = 4, The Automobile Industry |date=Winter 1991 | page = 897 | doi = 10.2307/3117267 | jstor = 3117267 }}</ref> The original plans were to build the Candango off-roader (Munga), a utility vehicle and a four-door sedan, called Vemaguet and Belcar respectively. The first model built was the 900&nbsp;cc F91 Universal but the Belcar and Vemaguet names were applied later.

In 1958, the F94 four-door sedan and station wagon were launched, in the early 1960s renamed Belcar and Vemaguet. The company also produced a luxury coupe (the DKW Fissore) and the off-road [[DKW Munga|Munga]] (locally called Candango). In 1960 Vemag cars received the larger one-litre, {{convert|50|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} engine from the [[Auto Union 1000]].<ref name=VoGo>{{cite web|url=http://www.team.net/www/ktud/saspeci/dkwbr.html |title=DKWs in Brazil |last1=Vogel |first1=Jason |last2=Gomes |first2=Flavio |publisher=KTUD Online Automotive Archive |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130515084413/http://www.team.net/www/ktud/saspeci/dkwbr.html |archive-date=2013-05-15 }}</ref>

Vemag had a successful official racing team, with the coupe GT Malzoni, with fiberglass body. This project was the foundation of the long-lasting Brazilian sports car brand [[Puma (car manufacturer)|Puma]]. The Brazilian F94 line has been improved with several cosmetic changes and became more and more different from the German and Argentine models. Vemag had no capital to invest in new products and came under governmental pressure to merge. In 1964–1965 Volkswagen gradually took over [[Auto Union]], a minority holder in Vemag, and in 1967 Volkswagen bought the remainder of the stock.<ref>[[#HShap|Shapiro]], p. 935</ref> VW quickly began phasing out DKW-Vemag production and introduced the [[Volkswagen Type 3#Coffin|Volkswagen 1600]] sedan to the old Vemag plant, after a total of 109,343 DKW-Vemag cars had been built.<ref name=VoGo/><ref name="Maravilha">{{citation | title = DKW – A grande história da Pequena Maravilha |trans-title=DKW: The great history of the little wonder | language = pt | first1 = Paulo César | last1 = Sandler | first2 = Rogério | last2 = de Simone | publisher = Editora Alaúde | isbn = 978-85-7881-037-5 | location = São Paulo, Brazil }}</ref>

DKW vehicles were made in [[Argentina]] from 1960 to 1969 by IASF S.A. (Industria Automotriz Santa Fe Sociedad Anónima) in [[Sauce Viejo, Argentina|Sauce Viejo]], [[Santa Fe Province|Santa Fe]]. The most beautiful were the Cupé Fissore, which had many famous owners (Julio Sosa, César Luis Menotti, and others). Other models are the Auto Union 1000 S Sedán (21,797 made until 1969) and the Auto Union 1000 Universal S (6,396 made until 1969).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/a/auto_union.htm |title=Auto Union |publisher=Coche Argentino |date=2009-05-18 |access-date=2011-10-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111105181653/http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/a/auto_union.htm |archive-date=2011-11-05 }}</ref> and the Auto Union [[DKW Schnellaster|Combi/Pick-up]].
The last version of the Auto Union Combi/Pick-up ([[DKW F1000 L]]), launched in 1969, survived a few months and was bought out by [[Industrias Aeronáuticas y Mecánicas del Estado|IME]], which continued production until 1979.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/a/auto_union.htm#frontal69 |title=Auto Union |publisher=Coche Argentino |date=2009-05-18 |access-date=2011-10-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111105181653/http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/a/auto_union.htm#frontal69 |archive-date=2011-11-05 }}</ref>
