Circa 1936 Mercedes-Benz Car on Exhibit
Add to SetSummary
The Mercedes-Benz brand was inaugurated in 1926. The German nameplate traces its roots to Karl Benz's 1885 Patent-Motorwagen, which is generally regarded as the first self-propelled vehicle designed around an internal combustion engine. Mercedes-Benz was -- and still is -- best known for its luxury cars, but the marque also built commercial trucks and buses.
