Ken Dallison Illustrated MercedesBenz Tribute - the "The First Century" of MB -

Description

"The First Century" of MERCEDES-BENZ  Automobiles
Illustrated by  Ken Dallison
Number 644 of 2000
Everything about this
beautiful piece of art
represents the world renown class of the
company itself!!!!!
Starting with the  outside packaging itself
(original) right down to the bindings, it is
apparent that no cost was spared in producing
this unbelievably exquisite work of art!
It was the most expensive automotive book
to produce of it's time!
Measurements:
17 1/4 " Wide
13 1/2"  Tall
2"         Deep
The book itself is covered in the same dark
blue leather that MB used in it's automobiles
of its time!
Each and every page of this treasure of art
tells a story of it's own and shows illustrations
of every automobile produced by the company
since it's origins, and including the classic
300 SL Roadster and 300 SL Gullwing!
There were only 2,000 produced and they
were offered to MB dealers only!
I personally had the distinct honor of working
for the 1st ever "Service-Only" authorized
service dealer for Mercedes-Benz of North
America and AG (Germany)!
The owner of that Service-Only dealership
was Bert Reimschuessel and this was his
personal edition!
For a complete history of that just google
"Bert's Treasury of Tools" and you will see
an article that appeared in the Mercedes-Benz
"Star" magazine (for MB club owners)!
This is a rare find and a must addition to
any Mercedes-Benz automobile owner's
collection of memorabilia!
