Gottlieb Daimler’s First Automobile

Mercedes Benz Museum, Stuttgart Germany

On March 8, 1886, Daimler took a stagecoach (made by Wilhelm Wimpff & Son)
and adapted it so that it could hold his engine. In the process,
he ended up designing the world’s first four-wheeled automobile, shown here.
It was capable of a top speed of 18 kilometers per hour.

Beautiful the way you composed this Tom. I'm afraid I would have tried to just do the car. The way you included the white on the ceiling makes for such a more interesting, complete photograph. Well done! V
