In 1927 the driving instructor Franz Wroblewski and his friend Wilhelm Dierks founded the Certus Automobil Werke in Offenburg, Germany (Black Forest).
Their slogan was: Der preiswerteste 8-Zylinder auf dem Weltmarkt (the cheapest 8-cylinder on the world market). They sold less than 50 cars in two years. Not a single car has survived.
(the latin word certus means "to be sure")
