Adler Standard 8

Just two standard bodied cars were advertised at launch, being the Large 4 door "Limousine" (saloon/sedan) and a 2+2 seater cabriolet priced respectively at 10,800 and 11,500 Marks.

There was no change in engine size, but the compression ratio was raised from 1 : 5.0 to 1 : 5.3 and a Stromburg UU2 carburetter replaced the Pallas 4 one which had pre-mixed the combustible mixture in the earlier cars.

The lowered "basic model" price was as much a reflection of general deflation in the economy in the early 1930s as of anything peculiar to Adler.

[5] By 1934 the automarket was recovering strongly, but most of the growth seems to have been achieved by small cars, including Adler's own Primus and Trumpf models.

In 1934 the eight cylinder Adlers were withdrawn from sale, leaving the company's Frankfurt plant free to concentrate on more sellable cars.
