Horch 851/853/853A/855/951/951A Cabriolet 1936
General description :
Frühzeitig erkannte Dr. August Horch, dass eine Typ-Konzentration bei den werthaltigen Fahrzeugen sein Ziel war. Nach Horchs Trennung vom Unter-nehmen verzettelte man sich wieder. Es sollte für Jeden das passende Fahrzeug angeboten werden. 1920 übernahm Dr. Moritz Straus die Mehrheit der Horch-Werke und kehrte zur Einmodellpolitik zurück. Es war das 5-Liter-Modell mit dem grandios konstruierten Achtzylinder-Reihenmotor von Paul Daimler. Genial war die Vielfalt an Varianten durch Mischung von Radständen und di-versen Karosserien. Der neue Motor war in der Fertigung anspruchsvoll, aber man konnte den sehr hohen Standard auch in der Produktion halten. Eine Krönung der Formgestaltung war zweifellos das Horch 853 Sportcabriolet.
Unser Horch 853 in elegantem dunklen Rot ist eine stattliche Erscheinung. Der Klassiker kommt aus einer Sammlung. Er wurde gepflegt, aber wenig gefahren in den letzten Jahren. Das Furnier des Armaturenbretts könnte überarbeitet werden. Aber man kann die Patina auch gut finden bei diesem Luxus-Cabrio. Genießen Sie den Einstieg in die erstklassige Horch-Automobilwelt.
EXTRA: ZF-Getriebe Gn35

About Horch
Horch, the German luxury automobile manufacturer, often stood in the shadow of its more renowned rivals, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Yet, it had a unique and noteworthy story to tell in the world of luxury cars.Founding of Horch:
Horch was founded in 1904 by a visionary engineer named August Horch. The company was based in Zwickau, Germany, and it quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality, finely crafted automobiles.
Rivalry with Mercedes-Benz:
One of the biggest challenges Horch faced was the fierce competition with Mercedes-Benz, the giant of German luxury automakers. Mercedes-Benz was a household name, and its cars were synonymous with luxury and performance. This rivalry often placed Horch in the shadows.
Engineering Excellence:
Horch, however, was no slouch in the engineering department. The company was responsible for several innovations, including the introduction of a straight-eight engine. These engineering feats helped Horch gain recognition for its performance and reliability.
Merging into Auto Union:
In 1932, Horch, along with Audi, DKW, and Wanderer, merged to form Auto Union. The four interlocking rings in Audi's logo symbolized this union. Under the Auto Union umbrella, Horch continued to produce luxury vehicles, contributing to the overall success of the group.
Challenges and World War II:
World War II brought significant disruptions to Horch's production. The post-war era also presented economic challenges as the company sought to regain its pre-war glory.
End of the Road:
In 1958, Auto Union was acquired by Daimler-Benz, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz. This marked the end of the Horch brand. Its legacy was incorporated into the larger Auto Union family.
Horch may not have reached the same level of international fame as Mercedes-Benz, but it played a significant role in the history of German luxury cars. Its dedication to engineering excellence and luxury contributed to the overall reputation of German automobile manufacturing. While it may have lingered in the shadow of its competitors, Horch's legacy endures as a testament to the golden era of automotive craftsmanship in Germany. It's a reminder that the history of automobiles is not just about the biggest names but also the unsung heroes that made their own indelible mark.
