German "Horch-951A", restored by a craftsman from Beloretsk

Farther away from us, deep into history, the Great Patriotic War goes. Every day there are fewer and fewer of those who knew and saw her horrors with their own eyes. But, not only human history is leaving, but also automobile history. It is very rare now to find copies of equipment that went through that war.

If our "Emki" or "one and a half" cause surprise, then what can we say about enemy equipment? Finding it on the go seems to be an unthinkable thing. Fortunately, sometimes this does happen.

Generals of the German army most often moved around the battle formations in comfortable German the car brand "Horch". In fact, it was an exclusive technique, released in various modifications in a quantity of only 336 pieces.

Its release was started in the 30s. At that time, the car was considered one of the most comfortable and expensive. Therefore, in order to receive their copy, the military in high ranks signed up for a preliminary queue.

To date, "Horch-951A" has survived in only three copies. Surprisingly, one of them surfaced in Beloretsk, where it was restored by a local craftsman. A short video about the first drive after the restoration of a car that took part in hostilities can be seen on the Igor Kalugin channel. Happy viewing everyone!
