Own every Mercedes-Benz.
Karl Benz patented his motor car in Mannheim in 1886. Gottlieb Daimler built his own at about the same time. Their companies merged in 1926 to form Daimler-Benz. The name Mercedes came from the daughter of Emil Jellinek, a customer in the early 1900s.
The start of their anecdote. The album's other cards are for you to discover in the game.
Mercedes-Benz
1949–1955 · Inline-4
An "S" for Sondermodell, special model: the 170 S of May 1949 was the first Mercedes-Benz to carry the suffix, which promised a higher level of comfort and quality. It was aimed at successful business owners and company directors, and in many ways descended from the six-cylinder 230 of 1938 to 1943.

A concept was shown at venues around the world before the first CLA arrived: the Concept Style Coupé, a four-door, in 2012. The production car followed a year later as a compact four-door coupé, sold 59,200 units worldwide in its first year and was restyled at the end of 2016.

Mercedes-Benz
1997–2003
Two factories shared the first CLK: the coupé came from Mercedes' Bremen plant, the convertible from Karmann in Osnabrück. Based on the C-Class, it gained in 1999 the CLK 55 AMG, with a 5.4-litre V8 of 347 PS. 233,367 coupés and 115,161 convertibles were made.
