Mercedes Benz 540 K Offener Tourenwagen 1938

This Mercedes 540 K was exhibited at Berlin Motorshow in 1938. It was the second design for the Offener Tourenwagen body type, a very ample open tourer car that had quite a lot of room for five people.
Very rarely seen on a German car is the hood that disappears completely when down. There is a metal cover over the folded-down hood. The bumpers are also not the ones usually seen on the 540 K model. Priced 22 000 RM in 1939, only twelve 540 K Offener tourenwagen were built and quite surprising, among them, one was sold by the Parisian agent to a French customer.

Mercedes-Benz typ 630 from 1925

This Mercedes-Benz 24/100/140 PS typ 630 was one of the most luxury car built in Germany during the mid-20s.
With a straight 6 cylinder engine (94 x 150) of 6.2 l capacity, this motor developed 100 PS at 2800 rpm and 140 PS at 3100 rpm thanks to the compressor.
The 6 seat tourer was priced 26500 Reichmarks while at the same time, the small Opel "Laubfrosch" cost 4500 Reichmarks.
Competitor to the 630 was the Maybach W5 built in Friedrichshafen for the German manufacturers.
