RailroadTreasures offers the following item:

When the first gasoline-powered tricycle emerged from Carl Benz' workshop in 1886, it heralded a revolution so profound that it was to change the face of the world for ever. No other invention, either before or since, has influenced our lives or shaped our world quite as dramatically as has the introduction of the automobile. Devastating as well as beneficial, the effects of the motorcar are to be seen and felt in practically all areas of everyday life.

In this book we look at the individuals responsible for this revolution - Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler - and how their companies joined forces to give the world the Mercedes-Benz. We discover how, after the devastation of the Second World War, Mercedes climbed to the top of the heap with a succession of legendary cars such as the 300SL Gullwing, the 280SL and the fabulous 560SEC.

Within these pages you will find stunning color illustrations of familiar models as well as of cars that have never been photographed before, together with an informative and lively text that pays homage to a marque whose cars can justifiably claim to be the best engineered in the world.
