A superb and rare photo of the Mercedes
W125 racing cars being loaded on to a ship in Naples, Italy on the way to
Tripoli for the Grand Prix in
1937.
In 1923 Ferdinand Porsche became chief engineer of Mercedes, taking over for Paul Daimler. Three years later
the company merged with Benz to become known as Mercedes-Benz. A symbol was chosen for the combined products
of Benz and DMB. The new emblem was a three-pointed star wreathed with laurel.
The word 'Mercedes' was at the top and the word 'Benz' was at the bottom.
This is a
very nice and very rare photo that reflects a wonderful era of Porsche ‘s
automotive history in a wonderful way. This is your rare chance to
own this photo, therefore it is printed in a nice large format of ca.
8" x 12" (ca. 20 x 30 cm). It makes it perfectly suitable for
