Model car: Daimler motorized carriage (1886), blue, B66041416

On March 8, 1886, Gottlieb Daimler ordered an "Americaine" carriage from the Wilhelm Wimpff & Sohn carriage factory in Stuttgart to equip it with an engine as a further test vehicle. The single-cylinder engine was modeled on the "grandfather clock" and had a displacement almost twice as large as the engine in the riding carriage and an output of 1.1 hp. This motorized carriage was the first four-wheeled vehicle to be powered by a high-speed internal combustion engine. The miniature model of the Daimler motor carriage is painted in the original colors, designed from die-cast metal and produced in the highest level of detail according to the original CAD data. It is a hand-assembled precision model made for Mercedes-Benz by Norev and is supplied in Mercedes-Benz Classic packaging. This little work of art will definitely enrich the collection of any miniature model enthusiast. As part of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Collection and the Model Cars Classic Selection, the model offers a true-to-scale representation of 1:18. It is not suitable for children under the age of 14.
