Clou du Salon de l'Automobile de Berlin 1934, la légendaire 500 K de Mercedes-Benz qui coûtait neuve une petite fortune vaut aujourd'hui l'équivalent d'une rançon royale tant elle est rare. La décennie des années 1930 fut une période d'une fertilité sans précédent en matière de style automobile et la 500 K fut un sommet d'excellence. Son charme intemporel n'a jamais été remis en question.
La 500 K qui bénéficiait d'une ingénieuse suspension arrière indépendante à essieu brisé fut une création de l'ingénieur Hans Nibel qui avait débuté chez Benz au début du XXe siècle et qui succéda à Marius Barbarou au poste d'ingénieur en chef en 1904, conçut (et pilota) les énormes Benz construites à l'époque qui culminèrent avec la Blitzen Benz (l'éclair Benz) de 200 ch. Après la fusion avec Mercedes, il remplaça Ferdinand Porsche et créa les châssis les plus raffinés de l'époque tant pour les routières que pour les voitures de course dont celui de la première des 'flèches d'argent' de Grand Prix. Les Mercedes de route à compresseur des années 1930 sont un splendide hommage à sa créativité technique.
Comme sa remplaçante, la 540 K, la superbe 500 K fut probablement le modèle de production le plus remarquable jamais produit par Stuttgart au cours des années 1930. La 500 K était propulsée par un moteur à huit cylindres en ligne de 5 018 cm3 qui se distinguait par le système de suralimentation par compresseur type Roots caractéristique de la marque selon lequel, en enfonçant l'accélérateur au maximum, la pédale permettait à la fois d'embrayer le compresseur et de couper l'alimentation atmosphérique du carburateur. Ce système avait été expérimenté avec succès sur les séries
Visit on June 9, 2014 to Jerry's collection in Canton, Michigan, a small city that lies in the northwest corner of Wayne County. Jerry has a terrific collection of classic cars and a few interesting mementos in the garage, such as this historic placard from the Western Pacific Railroad celebrating the Vista-Dome California Zephyr.
I am honored to report that Jerry has now given me this sign.
All of my classic car photos can be found here: Car Collections

This image belongs to a series of motor vehicle photographs that do not contain owners or people with the vehicles. Therefore, they do not fall completely within the requirement of my 'Family Car' collection.
I thought however that somebody might like to see the rejects.
They have not been cleaned or restored to the extent of the primary collections, and they will not be placed in any Flickr groups.
If any images receive sufficient 'hits', I will consider cleaning them up for a more public release.
