Roy Bacon Mercedes-Benz The Illustrated Motor Car Legends Classic Cars Collectibles (Hardcover, 1996)

Description

Who can forget the classic SS, SSK, and the 500K pre-war days when the silver German cars dominated the grand prix circuits.  The 300SL with its gull-wing doors of the 1950s, the enormous 600 of the 1960s that cornered unlike any other stretched limousine, the 190 - as reliable as a rock, and the wonderful Cabriolets of the 1990s.

This book, can be considered as a Collectible or Collector’s item, highlights some of these.  Along with them came range upon range of fine cars, always advanced, well made, reliable and ultimately great performers; it is truly remarkable for any firm to build so much for so long and so well.  Doubly so for them to be mass produced.

In this book, they are paraded with words and pictures that look at the early start, the proud history and on to the developments we can see on the roads today. Benz and Daimler can be justly proud of what they wrought.  The history of Mercedes-Benz condensed into just 80 illustrated pages.
