OK, OK, great thread, perfect time to post a request. There is a Mercedes advertisement I want to locate. It may have been in "The Star" or if any of you have a collection of older auto trade magazines such as "Motor", "Motor Age" "European (or Foriegn?) car service", that type of thing, it may have been in there too.
I am guessing the date of the magazine to be 1995, plus or minus a couple years. Now, I know the info here is sketchy, and I'm "only" 99% sure the ad was from Mercedes itself, it may have been related to selling parts somehow. Here is roughly how the ad went:
There are 2 pictures, one above, one below.
The top picture shows some old Daimler or Benz car, like from the 1880's. Above this picture of the car, it says something like "In 1885 (?), Karl Benz's(?) first car produced only 2 horsepower"
The the lower picture is a horse hitched to a wagon, and below that it says "Of course, it was twice as much as the competition".
So anyways, that's what I'm looking for. My gratitude and an unspecified monetery payment for someone who can locate this for me, plus if your of age I'll throw in a bottle of good Wisconsin wine and a bottle of German wine. Get your kids to the library (practice up for school!) and have them look through those old auto trade magazines!
Gilly
