The 1936 Horch 830 BL Cabriolet holds historical significance as the personal vehicle of General Charles de Gaulle following World War II. This luxury automobile, originally part of General Dietrich von Choltitz's fleet—the last German military governor of occupied Paris—was utilized by de Gaulle for over a decade until he assumed the French presidency in 1959. The Horch 830 BL was equipped with a V8 engine and featured an extended wheelbase, offering enhanced interior space and comfort. Its robust engineering and elegant design distinguished it from contemporaries, symbolizing both technological advancement and refined aesthetics of its era. Today, this historically significant vehicle is exhibited at the Military History Museum in Dresden, serving as a testament to its rich past.
