  1. Great with a bird-eyes view of the oddball Scripps-Booth Biautogo, giving a clearer idea of the seating arrangements and interior dimensions
  2. The super rare 150 H Speedster with bigger engine than the mundade 130 H. Only one survivor, in USA
  3. French-Polish dancer and later film star Stacia Napierkowska with her Austro-Daimler in 1912, the photo was even used by the Company in its ads
  4. More antique Fiats and this time chain driven:The sensation at the Stockholm Automobile Show 1907 -the landaulette by Rothschild & Fils. Emil Salmson of the General Agent Wiklunds had recently won the Swedish Winter trials on this marque and stirred an interest in Italian cars espcially and Fiats in particular among the motorists in Sweden. Bellow a touring bodied car of the same vintage in Swedish snow landscape, could be Mr Salmson himself behind the Wheel.
  5. The Mercedes Automobiles of the King of Greece just before WWI, a 10/30 roadster and Knight-engined 16/45 touring. Apparently factory coachwork on both cars
  6. Swimmer Annette Kellerman with London-Edinburgh type Rolls-Royce 40/50
  7. "Aston Martin 1937 English Taxi" almost hilarious captioning by Pacific Auto Rentals https://london-taxi.co.uk/taxicab-history/
  8. Illustrious name, but the car... I am afraid it's a Rabag-Bugatti and not anything made in Molsheim that Robert von Mendelssohn (1902-1996) is sitting on. The photo is from 1929 so it wasn't exactly a brand new car the Berliner banker was driving.
  9. Yes, it's most probably a cross-engined Franklin. But there were Copycats, built with inferior materials and heavier, for example Marion and Premier.
  10. It isn't front Wheel drive, but it lacks a beam axle up front as you can see on the older model above the Autenrieth bodied streamliner
  11. Notice the sliding doors! Type 46 with chassis nr. 46409, delivered 28.4.1932 only three months before Lobkowicz' fatal crash. Coachwork by Uhlik of Prague
  12. 1928 Röhr, the the smallest German Eight. Bellow a period photo from 1933 of a Röhr with spectacular coachwork, that i know still exists.
  13. 1929 Miss Europe, Elizabeth Simon, and a Steyr XX. The successor to the popular XII didn't caught on, bad timing to bring out a larger model. Ferdinand Porsche had to design a similar sized but more profitable car, the Steyr 30.
  14. ….and with factory bodied Mercedes-Benz Nürburg at the Concours d'Elegance in Vienna the same year
  15. Duesenberg and 1931 Mercedes-Benz SSK, the latter with coachwork by Gläser
  16. Superbike of the Third Reich, 1933-38 Zündapp K800 with four-cylinder and shaft drive. The Army version had smaller capacity engine...
