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. The real name of the daughter of Emil Jellinek was Adrian Manuel Ramon Jellinek. However, the cult of the Virgin Mary of Mercy (Maria de las Mercedes) in the family of Jellinek influenced not only how he called his daughter, but also the names of his yachts, houses, real estate, etc. The photo depicts the very well-known daughter posing for the wheel of the first Mercedes.
