Between 1928 and 1934 Adler sold 1,720 of their eight-cylinder cars. The market for large cars in Germany was still depressed in 1933, as the economy continued to reel from the aftershocks of the 1929 stock market crashes and the new 1933 Adler Achtzylinder of 1933 attracted very few orders. 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 In 1934 the eight cylinder Adlers were withdrawn from sale, leaving the company’s Frankfurt plant free to concentrate on more sellable cars.
