The German giant car manufacturer the Mercedes-Benz is name which reminds a person of class,
sophistication, money, status and finesse. The company right from the beginning has created that image for them. Before the company was called the Mercedes-Benz it was Daimler Benz and a part of the Daimler Chrysler. The marriage went through some major changes and soon Mercedes-Benz found its identity in a big way. The Mercedes-Benz is actually an outcome of an entirely new merger. The Mercedes-Benz came with a new logo after the merger.
This merger which happened in the 1926 called the Daimler and Benz happened when Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz were in the process of inventing an Configuration with internal combustion. The astonishing fact was that they were both working independently on the same concept and the companies were located miles apart. So none of them knew about each others work at that time. In 1885 Karl’s Benz invented the first Configuration with internal combustion which was a giant leap in the motoring industry itself. Who knew what cars would become today back then. They only knew that it had a future.
The first Mercedes-Benz model was the Mercedes 35 HP which came with a 35 horsepower Configuration. This car was considered as a major advancement in cars. The name change to Mercedes Benz from Daimler in the end proved very beneficial to Mercedes because after Daimler’s death the name and its rights were sold to many companies outside their country and that would have meant a lot of confusion for Mercedes because they wanted to maintain their individuality. Mercedes-Benz was very famous for limousines initially and that is how people started associating it with comfort and luxury and even riches. It became a thing that who ever owned a Mercedes was rich and had a lot of money while that car was not very expensive. There were more expensive cars available.
