Market commentary
The automobile was hardly a teeger when this Mercedes was built. In an era of one and two cylinder buggies this is a true automobile. Progress was fast and so is this Mercedes. Bought by Otis Chandler at RMs Arizo auction in 2003 for $770,000. Now, who said there is no current interest in collecting antique automobiles
