Hello folks, I know it's been a minute since I have shared anything with you and I'm sure you had missed our beautiful discoveries, but worry no more because I'm back to continue sharing with you my Passion for these classic beauties... As a revival post I have decided to focus on one of the iconic car brands under the sun "Mercedes"... In this post we shall look into some of the random facts that a few may know, so lets get down to it.....
Fact 1
It is suggested that Karl Benz created the first modern automobile in 1886, with financial and marketing help from her wife..Now I understand why it is said "Behind every successful man, there is a woman" -Mark Twain. Can you imagine with the way most women hate cars Benz's wife 'Bertha' stood by him as he made an unknown number of failed attempts in building the first automobile.
The vehicle was called the Patent Motorwagen, had three wheels a steel tube frame, a small gasoline powered engine which produced less than 1 horse power..

Fact 2
Mercedes Benz was established when two gentlemen, Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz merged their German Automobile Companies in 1926 to create what was known as the Daimler Benz Company which was later renamed to 'Mercedes Benz'. Over the years Mercedes has changed it's Logo in an attempt the find the right fit.. The three pointed Logo which is the current Mercedes Benz Logo first made an appearance in 1909.
