Description

The book covers the entire history of the historic Maybach vehicles from 1919 to the late post-war conversions in the 1950s.

There are usually 3-4 images per double page with corresponding comments on the type, year and coachbuilder, as well as special features about the vehicle, as well as publications on the individual vehicle.

Featured models from the table of contents: W1 / W3 / W5 / Maybach 12 / DS7 / DS8 / Zeppelin / W6 / DSH / SW35 / SW38 / SW42

What becomes clear in this compilation is the large number of selected body builders who are responsible for the recognition of Maybach vehicles with their own designs. Spohn was the “house and court purveyor”, but Erdmann & Rossi, Wendler, Auer, Neuss, Papler, Autenrieth and even Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH also delivered extraordinary examples whose interpretation allowed the zeitgeist to flow into the luxury brand.

The huge pool of historical vehicle images, with informative, contemporary and entertaining explanations and images, is impressive. All text in German.
