Scale 1:18 (12 inches)
1935 Horch 851 Pullman Limousine
Bad Luck Destroyed Germany's number one luxury car maker - it's difficult to imagine a time when Mercedes-Benz was not the greatest name in luxury automobiles. But in the 1930s, it wasn't even #1 in
Germany.
Horch, the luxury car division of Auto Union AG, owned 55% of this market. With technological features like 4-wheel brakes, safety glass, and hydraulic shock absorbers, Horch was decades ahead of its time. Unfortunately, the Horch factory was located in the eastern part of Germany and was overrun and dismantled by the advancing Russian army in the last days of WWII.
The 851 Pullman Limousine is the ultimate symbol
of Horch excellence, created at the demand of the
German government as a chauffer-driven car for diplomats
and generals. It was powered by a straight-8 100
horsepower engine and featured tri-front headlights,
double side spares, and two folding jump seats,
so it could transport 8.
This 1:18 scale replica features opening doors, bifold hood, detailed engine, opening luggage trunk, plus the folding jump seats and 'suicide' front doors of the original. With its gleaming jet-black factory baked enamel finish, this precision reproduction looks as good as the originals did rolling through pre-WWII Germany...
