His first car was built in 1901 but things were tough and by 1909 Horch was squeezed out of his own company by its board of directors. He retaliated by setting up a new company called Audi, which would join the Auto Union alongside Horch in 1932. Horch would continue to produce cars under its own name until 1939, but after the war the company's Zwickau factory was in East Germany so it was turned over to truck production under the Soviets. As part of the Auto Union group, the dormant Horch brand is now owned by Volkswagen. The Horch was at the Concors D’Elegance at Pebble Beach and won best in show and was recently sold in auction for 6+ million. 1938 Horch 853 | conceptcarz.com In the original design, I did do the very narrow grill but because of the size (EX-16) I couldn't cut the individual pieces of the grill and started to wander. I could have done it with a larger SS. Edited July 24, 2021 by munzieb lawson56, ben2008, jollyred and 14 others 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
