Framed picture
Mercedes-Benz 540 K 1937
by Pierre Dumont
The text in this picture reads:-
"For all its extrovert flash and dash, the vast 540 K was but a pale shadow of such hairy antecedents as the 36/220, 38/250 and SSK.
Its 5.4-litre straight-eight engine had an overhead camshaft and clutch-engaged supercharger, but was bulky, heavy and not powerful enough (180 bhp) to propel so much metal very briskly. The speed was little over 100 mph.
But it had all-independent suspension, with coilspring swing axles at the back, and was thus a comfortable touring car."
A stylish picture in an A4 (30 x 21 cm. or 11.7 x 8.3 inch) size frame.
