coffee table book about the history of Mercedes Benz as a company and their cars - makes a point of belabouring that the Daimler-Benz company were the first company anywhere to massproduce motorised carriages (which weren't allowed to drive on public roads in most of Germany at the time)

interesting to learn that Mercedes Benz mass produced a rear engine car just before WW2 (the 170H) but it sold so poorly that the model was quickly discontinued, unfortunately there is no photographs of it in this book so I had to look the 170H up on Wikipedia instead
