Mercedes 35 PS

The story of how the founder of the company named the car in honor of his daughter is probably already known to everyone. However, this story should be a little concretized.

In our time, it is still difficult to imagine the effect of this law in full force. However, what the consequences may be and how people lived during the prohibitions on alcohol can be seen in the next photo selection.
