After leaving Horch Motorwagenwerke AG in East Germany, August Horch founded another factory in 1909, which was also to build automobiles. Since Horch was not allowed to use his own name as the company name again, he made do by translating his name into Latin (horch = AUDI).

The word "Horch" in German means "listen". It's bit of a slang. When the company Horch folded, it's inventor founded a new company called "Audi" which is latin for - you guessed it - "listen" or "I'm listening". :) So Horch and Audi are closely related...

French beauty 1939 Delahaye Type 165 Cabriolet Coachwork by Figoni & Falaschi - Delahaye only built six 12-cylinder Type 165 models in the late 1930s, as production variants of the successful Type 145 competition car. This stunning Figoni et Falaschi-bodied cabriolet was built to represent France at the 1939 New York World’s Fair, an exposition promoted with the slogan “Dawn of a New Day”. While the engine was not completed in time for its display, the modernity and sublime beauty of this car’s flowing styling drew throngs of admirers from the press and public alike. Emile Delahaye was born in Tours, France in 1843. He studied engineering in Angers, France. In 1869 he began work with his engineering degree in applied arts and crafts. Emile Delahaye began business in Tours, France in the middle of 19th Century for the purpose of constructing engines for the ceramic industry. The company branched out and began constructing mechanical appliances such as pumps and engines. In 1888, Delahaye designed an internal combustion engine for the shipping industry. It was not until 1896 that Automobile production began for Delahaye. His first automobiles produced were powered by belt-driven single and twin cylinder engines. Emile used motor racing to promote his vehicles. In 1896, Emile Delahaye entered the Paris-Marseilles race. Not only did he enter a vehicle his company had created, but he entered as the driver. The results were astounding, which truly speaks highly of the caliber and quality of the automobile. The demand for the vehicles began pouring-in and a second factory was opened. After the racing success of its Type 145, Delahaye created the production version, the 12-cylinder Type 165. Two Type 165s were built, and the first was shown in October 1939 at the Paris Auto Salon, the last salon before the war. The second 165 – this cabriolet, with body by Figoni and Falaschi, was so emblematic of 1930s French design that it represented the nation at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Shipped without an engine because it could not be built in time for the show, an engine sheel, without internals was used instead. The engine-less body was impounded by US Customs when Europe became embroiled in WWII. With Europe engulfed by war by the World’s Fair’s close in 1940, the U.S. Custom’s impounded the Delahaye in New York for the duration of the conflicts. In 1946 Beverly Hills car dealer Roger Barlow purchased the car at public auction, and later that year the Type 165 was fitted with a tuned Cadillac engine. Following his death, it was abandoned by his widow in the 1970s and sold to a tow-truck driver for $1200. After three decades of trading hands at a public auction and receiving a Cadillac engine, it eventually wound up at a used car lot in Honolulu until it was bought by a US military serviceman. It took four years of negotiation, but Peter Mullin and Jim Hull eventually purchased the car in 1985 and spearheaded its restoration. The original engine sheel was tracked back to Count Hubertus von Doenhoff and bought. New engine internals were created from original drawings to finally give the 165 the fully-working engine it was intended to have. This car is now owned by Peter and Merle Mullin and the Peter Mullin Automotive Museum Foundation, where is its displayed in Oxnard, California. © Cars & Motorbikes Stars of the Golden Era #archaeohistories

We picked up this baby from Lagos and it arrived Inside Òṣogbo like this, the car didn’t leave Lagos this way, shortly after getting to Ibadan, the engine was overheating seriously and it was getting late, the car’s safety and driver’s wellbeing was our utmost priority so the best option was to tow the car, we communicated with the owner of the car and he gave us a go ahead, we couldn’t get a towing vehicle from here because it was late so we had to look for one around toll gate in Ib and around Iwo Road, we were able to get one eventually and they left around 12:30am, Our own Towing vehicle from Inside Òṣogbo would have actually “towed” the car but these people from Ibadan “pulled” the car with a rope, the driver didn’t inform me of this, I would have objected, shortly before they got to Osogbo, the person controlling our own car behind the towing vehicle lost control and hit the iron behind the towing vehicle so the headlamps, fender, front grille, bumper and bonnet got damaged… “Gbeseee re ooo”🙆🙆🙆. We later found out there was a slight malfunction with the brake system. They arrived the workshop Doromecho Automobile Solutions Ltd. around 4am, I was livid, very mad at the towing vehicle people, they started begging.. This one no be begging matter oo.. At dawn, I called the owner of the vehicle to inform him of what had happened, we love to take responsibilities for anything about our clients’s cars in as much as it is already in our custody. He wasn’t so happy but the good news was that he already had plans to replace the headlamps, front and rear bumpers and do a full revamp of the body as part of the refurbishment plans he had for the car including the Mechanical works, it was a great relief from our side and he appreciated the fact that we called to inform him.
