Years ago Old Cars Weekly ran a fascinating article about a '30s Horch that had been found somewhere on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain. I recall the car had to be essentially cut up into small pieces in order to escape detection by authorities. It was a fairly lengthy piece, with all kinds of twists and turns akin to a foreign spy novel. I checked with OCW but they would need some sort of time frame to help narrow the search. If anybody has any recollection of the article, any information helping to track it down would be most appreciated.

I had attended the last 4 Norwich Sunday shows but the heat and humidity forecast caused me to sit this one out. I do plan on making the Iroquois Region AACA show in Conklin though.

I did see that one - I thought there was another black one that I missed. I thought the asking price was reasonable as well. There were also a '60 60 Special (blue) and a '59 SdV (black) parked near me. I believe both were sold.

What year was that 60 Special?

Thanks again fellas. A little background on me - I grew up in the car business, my father had a small used car lot which I ultimately took over some 30 years ago. (Phew - where did the time go!) Been a ardent Cadillac guy since the age of 5 when the old man pulled into the driveway at dusk one night with a fresh-outta-the-detail shop black 1965 SdV and the rest is history. lol I'm especially a fan of original cars - even when deteriorated, but also appreciate well executed quality restorations.

Thanks fellas. Looks like a great forum with a lot of great discussion.

There are many roads to Rome as they say and one's approach to the old car hobby depends on the circumstances of the individual - whether hands-on or check writer.
