Description
A richly illustrated bilingual Czech–English book that tells the multi-layered story of more than 120 years of Mercedes-Benz – the world’s oldest car manufacturer – in the Czech lands. Besides a concise and readable history of the famous brand set in its broader cultural, economic and technological context, it presents biographies of seven key personalities with Czech roots who significantly influenced the development of the Stuttgart icons and of world motoring. A separate chapter is devoted to the oldest brand club on the European continent, founded in Czechoslovakia in 1963. The authors trace more than a hundred years of production through three dozen selected cars from the largest public and private collections in the country. Published with the support of the exclusive importer Mercedes-Benz Czech Republic.
