| In western Texas of all places, Audi finds the last Horch, and ships it back to Germany for a 2-year restoration. Audi is the Latin translation of Horch, and Audi was founded in 1910 by a Horch business partner who was forced out. In 1932, Audi and Horch merged, along with DKW and Wanderer, and the current day Audi logo (four rings) came about. Horch brand was tainted by the fact that many of the Nazi and SS leaders drove Horch during the war. The last remaining civilian models, built pre-1940, are rare collector's gems. The last Horch was built in 1953 by hand, based on a chassis manufactured in 1939. www.ReviewCars.com |
