Wanderer W 24 C, Built in 1938

Technical Information
 Builder Auto-Union, Displacement: 1800 ccm, Car Body by Horch, Seats 4 persons, 4 Cylinder, 42 Horse Power

History
In 1885 the mechanic Johann Baptist Winklhofer established a small bicycle dealership. Later in 1907, he began to manufacture tools, bicycles and office machines under the name of Continental. In this same year the first Wanderer automobile was built. In 1932 four automotive manufacturers Audi, Horch, Wanderer and DKW formed a four-member producers' union or conglomerate.

The only one of the original four that still exists today is Audi. The Audi trademark consisting of four interconnected rings commemorates the Auto Union's four founding members. This trademark can still be found on every Audi car. The Wanderer W 24 belongs to the most comfortable - luxury model - of four-seater convertibles. It was considered to be one of the finer upper middle class automobiles of its time. What sets the Wanderer apart from other cars is the body made and designed by Horch. There were only 5,023 automobiles built of this model. Today, only 32 are still know to be in existence. This unique old-timer has a certification of originality, referred to as an (Fiva-Paß) in Germany.

Buick 8-57, Built in 1931

Technical Information
 Builder Buick, GMC, Displacement: 3600 ccm, Car Body by Gläser, Dresden, Seats 5 persons, 8 Cylinders, Total weight 2080 Kg, 77 Horse Power

History
This five-seater convertible is not only known for comfort but can be driven with the complete top closed offering all the advantages of a limousine. When the convertible top is up there is no loss of interior space in the passenger room in so far as that the top takes no space away from passengers. Thus, the automobile can still be referred to as a limousine when the top is closed. That the car could be heated during colder weather was also a distinct advantage. The rear windows go back so far that the passenger may also enjoy the view without obstruction.
The American auto manufacturer Buick was founded in 1903 and still exists to this day.
What is very special about this automobile are its body, frame and motor which were exported to Berlin-Boriswalde, Germany, in 1931 from the USA. The Gläser Company was commissioned to assemble this special auto for their client who wished a German customized body. Gläser was a very well known manufacturer of auto bodies and working for such well-known companies as Horch, Maybach, Mercedes, Cadillac, Wanderer, and Stoewer. Since this car was only made in Europe and there are no others known to be in existence, ours is the only one of its kind still existent worldwide.
