BENZ

BENZ / GERMANY

 Here comes a rare prewar emblem from Germany`s most famous car producer BENZ before it became MERCEDES - BENZ in 1926.

Photo of the BENZ stand at the 1907 Paris Motor Show. Emblems are not visible on the cars.

 

One of the most wanted emblems for collectors:

I found several ads at once, which I do not want to withhold from you because of their beauty, celebrating the merger of BENZ and DAIMLER.

In the first advertisements after the merger of Benz and Daimler, both previous emblems were still visible:
