MERCEDES BENZ The 1930s eight cylinder cars, part 1

The early Mercedes eight-cylinder cars of the 1930s - from the 460 Nürburg to the majestic 770 and G 4. The Mercedes 460 Nürburg was the first production eight-cylinder car built by Mercedes-Benz. It was followed by the 500 and 500 N, and later by the more modern 380, which for the first time could also be ordered with a supercharger. Parallel to these models, Mercedes created the mighty 770 - a vehicle that surpassed anything Europe had to offer at the time in terms of engineering, quality, and comfort. Also part of this remarkable lineage was the off-road G 4, originally developed for military and governmental use. >Topics include: - The 460 Nürburg W08 - variants and body styles - Coachbuilders from Auer to Weinberger - The 500 Nürburg, 500 and 500 N W08 - design and technology - Coachbuilders from Baur to Voll & Ruhrbeck - The 380 S Mannheim W10, 380 S W18, and 380 W22 - Coachbuilders from Authenrieth to Langenthal - The 770 W07 - engineering, history, and variations - Coachbuilders from Auer to Zupka & Son - The 770 W150 - evolution and special versions - The unique Sodomka-bodied car >An invaluable resource for collectors and enthusiasts >Whether you are a historian, a collector, or an admirer of pre-war engineering, this guide offers a depth of information and visual quality that brings these legendary cars closer than ever before.
