Daimler and Daimler AG, and Daimler Benz, etc etc etc... I've been meaning to learn what is the history
0 comments Posted by Unknown at 9:33 PMHistory
Daimler AG is a German manufacturer of automobiles, motor vehicles, and engines, which dates back more than a century.
An Agreement of Mutual Interest was signed on May 1, 1924 between Benz & Cie (founded 1883) of Karl Benz and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (founded 1890) of Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach.
(So that explains Maybach's and Benz's connection!)
Both companies continued to manufacture their separate automobile and internal combustion engine brands until, on June 28, 1926, when Benz & Cie. and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft AG formally merged—becoming Daimler-Benz AG—and agreed that thereafter, all of the factories would use the brand name of Mercedes-Benz on their automobiles. (below I get to where the name Mercedes suddenly pops into this corporate identity, as no one in the company, or company mergers was ever named Mercedes)
In 2007, when the Chrysler group was sold off to Cerberus Capital Management, the name of the parent company was changed to simply "Daimler AG".

Mercedes
Mercedes was a brand of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG). DMG which began to develop in 1900, after the death of its co-founder, Gottlieb Daimler.
Although the name was not lodged as a trade name until 23 June 1902 and had to wait until 26 September to be registered legally, the brand name eventually would be applied to an automobile model built by Wilhelm Maybach to specifications by Emil Jellinek that was delivered to him on 22 December 1900.
By Jellinek's contract, the new model contained a newly designed engine designated "Daimler-Mercedes". This engine name is the first instance of the use of the name, Mercedes, by DMG. The automobile model would later be called, the Mercedes 35 hp.
An Austrian diplomat based in Nice, a business man running a profitable business selling cars, and a racing enthusiast, Jellinek had been racing DMG automobiles under the pseudonym Mercédès, after his daughter, Mercédès Jellinek.
Later he contracted with DMG for a small series of dedicated sports cars containing an engine that officially bore his daughter's name. He raced them very successfully, gaining recognition that increased interest in customers and Jellinek was placed on the board of directors of DMG. This model was a significant advancement in the history of automobiles.
The model was released for sale in 1901 under the name of Mercedes 35 hp and, because of the success of the model, DMG began to apply the name as a series to other models such as, Mercedes 8/11 hp and Mercedes 40 hp Simplex. Jellinek seems to have become obsessed with the name and even had his name changed to Jellinek-Mercedes.
Maybach quit DMG in 1907 and started up his own business.
The name, Mercedes, later was used to represent DMG in another new brand name, Mercedes-Benz, created in 1926 when it was applied to all vehicles produced by the new company, Daimler-Benz AG, resulting from the merger of Benz & Cie. and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft in that year.
The last name of Karl Benz was retained in the new brand, but since DMG had sold exclusive licences to foreign companies(maybe this is the British car company Daimler), they couldn't use the name of their founder, Daimler, legally in all countries and decided to use the name of their most popular model. Since Jellinek was a member of the board of directors by the time of the merger, the name was promoted for continued good luck to the new company.

Daimler the British car company
Gottlieb Daimler studied machine construction at the Stuttgart Polytechnic from 1857-59 and during that time he was introduced to the highly developed level of machine construction in Britain. In 1885 Daimler, together with Maybach began work on the first engines that were designed specifically for use in motor vehicles.
They abandoned the existing conventional, open, horizontal type design with an external flywheel, and arranged the engine to stand upright with an internal flywheel, and a casting that was sealed against oil and dust. The engine's output was 0.37KW (0.5bhp), had a cubic capacity of 164cc, weighed 60kg and produced 700 revolutions per minute.
After that, Daimler and Maybach turned to the problem of liquid fuel. Finally, they found the best combustible mixture was 91% air and 9% petrol with a specific gravity of 0.68 g/cubic cm. This engine was equipped with a carburettor and was built into a wooden frame.
Daimler gave this engine a higher output, up to 0.76KW (1bhp) and built it into a coach body. He made his first trip around Bad Cannstatt in this vehicle in September 1886. Later, this engine proved to be excellent for driving motorboats. In 1887, Daimler purchased a small factory so he could produce and sell the engine. This two-cylinder V-engine had an output of 1.5KW (2hp) Gottlieb Daimler died on 6th March 1900.
Fredrick Simms an Englishman born in Hamburg, was on the lookout for a power source to use in his 'Aerial Flights' (overhead railcar) and befriended Daimler, who at that time was using his new engine in motorboats. Simms saw the potential for marketing this engine in Britain. He took up the patent rights and formed a company in 1893 called 'The Daimler Motor Syndicate Ltd'.
He then started to build the boats on Eel Pie Island for use on the Thames, using the imported Daimler engines to power them. In 1895, a businessman named Harry J. Lawson saw an opportunity to build cars using the Daimler engine and duly bought up all the patents he could, including the rights to the Daimler engine from Simms.
In 1898, the Great Horsless Carriage Company, which had constructed the bodies for the Daimler chassis had gone into liquidation and from it, a new company, called the Motor Manufacturing Company was formed. Having land leased from Daimler, they built a forge and went into production using their own engines and chassis. Also, in the same year, the original Daimler motor syndicate, which had become the British Motor Syndicate, now became the British Motor Company. By this time, it was struggling to hold onto the patents which Harry J. Lawson had originally bought and had Licensed to the Daimler Motor Company and other motor manufacturers.
Simms, together with Robert Bosch, had now developed a low-tension magneto, but the Daimler engineers were not convinced of the merits of electric ignition. The Daimler Company agreed to carry out tests but it decreased the horsepower of the motor, so was dismissed. Fortunately, E.W. Lewis, the company's chief draftsman, had designed his own contact breaker which proved successful and was fitted to King Edward VII's first car. Lewis later joined the Rover Company and designed their first motor cycle and early cars. The Motor Manufacturing Company that shared the Coventry site with Daimler ran into difficulties, and in 1905 was taken over by Daimler.

Не толкова отдавна публикувахме новина за рапар, който бе решил да стане собственик на единствения Maybach Exelero.
Рапъра Birdman тогава обяви, че скоро ще стане собственик на Exelero, както и планира също така да промени в червено цвета на купето. Birdman по "традиция", променя всичките си предишни скъпи коли.
Въпреки това Birdman все още до ден днешен не е платил цената за ексклузивния модел, според американските медии. Уникалния Exelero е изработен в сътрудничество на Maybach и Fulda. Автомобила все още е в ръцете на предприемач от Европа Arnauda Massartica, който твърди, че Birdman не е платил очакваното количество от 8 милиона долара.
Отделно от факта, че тя е единствената такава кола в света и е с уникален статут, Exelero оправдава цената си.
Суперкара е задвижван от туин-турбо V12 бензинов двигател на Maybach 57 S, който развива 700 к.с. и 1200 Нм. Максималната скорост е 351 км/ч, а ускорението от 0 до 100 км / ч на тежащия повече от 2,5 тона автомобил се нуждае само от 4.4 секунди.

Unusual, rare, and restored cars from the 1920's and 30's at the Nethercutt musuem

I hope you've been looking at my blog long enough to recognize these headlights as my favorite, they are the Woodlight type http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/woodlight%20headlights , and only came on two cars I know of, the DuPont occasionally, and this 1930 Ruxton in its factory paint, stripes of reds. Three other cars have had woodlights, a Stutz, Cord, and an Auburn but I suspect they were added by the owners. Most unusual for factory paint, but it was the midst of the great depression, and this was a luxury car that needed potential buyers attention. ( just like the glam rockers of the 70's and 80's and the big hair and makeup ) 
The above is movie star Fatty Arbuckle's 1923 McFarlan model 154 knickerbocker cabriolet 
The above yellow is a 1934 Packard 
Above and below, 1932 Mayback DS 8 / convertible cabriolet 
the above is a 1925 Locomobile 48/ Victoria sedan 
the above is a Toledo tiller steered, ever notice that a kids little red wagon has a handle that flips up or down, and is a very small example of a horse drawn wagon? Transpose that thought to the tiller steered early horse-less carriages and the way they had tiller steering that resembles a flipped up wagon tongue 
On the left is the blue with a hood that looks like the Renault of the same era, but the Franklin was American and this example is a 1912 model G 
This green with white baloon treadless tires is a 1906 Franklin, and particularly striking is the barrel shaped hood. The round hood was replaced by the slope hood like the 1912 Franklin above this 
Beautiful brass accentuation pieces adorning this green and black Franklin 
1910 Pierce Arrow 7 passenger touring 
1912 White model GF

Германската компания Xenatec
още през май тази година представи кабриолет версия на Maybach 57S, а сега и първото копие Cruiserio Maybach Coupe, което е изложено в централата на Daimler в Щутгарт, Германия.Планирано е производство в изключителна серия от само 100 екземпляра, на цена от 675 000 евро (без данъци).
Под капака се намира V12 двигател с 605 коня, достатъчно, за да ускори от 0-100 км/ч за 5 секунди и максимална скорост от 275 км/ч.
Cruiserio Maybach Coupe (с дължина от 570 см и ширина от 198 см), бе сравнен със седан версията, разбира се губи задната си врата, предните седалки са били изменени, за улесняване на влизането на пътниците на задната седалка. Колелата са 20-инчови (21-инчови са по избор), предлагат се и нови брони предна с LED дневни светлинии, а задната е с два големи ауспуси и интегриран дифузьор.

Bottom photo was from Le Container I think.. not sureAnyway, what a contrast of designs.. the Jaray at top was streamlined body, big cabin... opposite the GAZ below. Odd to have found these photos at about the same time.
Немска фирма е Xenatec през май тази година обяви купе версия на Maybach 57S, по-рано този месец, публикува първите официални снимки, а сега идва съобщението, че (от планираните 100 единици) 60 екземпляра вече са продадени, въпреки цена от 675 000 евро (без данъци) ...
Първите бройки са готови още през този месец и са предназначени за купувачи от Саудитска Арабия.

Напомняме Ви, че под капака се намира 6.0-литров V12 двигател с 612 коня и 1000 Нм въртящ момент, което е достатъчно, тежащата 2660 кг кола да достигне 100 км/ч за 5 секунди и да постигне максимална от 275 км/ч.
Maybach 57S Coupe (570 см) е сравнима по качество, лукс и комфорт със седан версията, разбира се губи задната си врата. Модела е получил разширена следа на задните колела, а предните седалки са били изменени, за улесняване на влизането на пътниците на задната седалка и колелата са 20-инчови (21-инчови са по избор). Освен това новост са броните и фаровете с LED дневни светлини.
