Horch 853A Cabriolet

After leaving Mercedes at the very end of the 1800s, August Horch formed a company bearing his last name. It produced several cars, including the 853A pictured below. Production numbers are somewhere around 350 and the company is notable for being the first to introduce eight cylinder engines into series production. Horch was forced out of the company and formed Audi (Audiwerke GmbH) but later returned to the company that bore his name as part of the Auto Union merger. These days, Horch cars are worth millions.
