Mercedes & Maybach

Mercedes-Benz collection
One of the highlights of the vintage car exhibition at the Auto & Technik MUSEUM SINSHEIM is the collection of historical Mercedes automobiles. At the museum, in addition to many other models, our visitors can admire no less than 16 of the legendary Mercedes compressor-cars, among them specimen of the S, SS and SSK series from the 1920s and 1930s, all of them, in running order. Together with the Maybach-limousines they are representing the absolute top class of contemporary automobiles, as far as both, their quality and their price was concerned. To be able to aquire a dream car of this kind you had to invest the equivalent of a family home in a first-class location.

Maybach collection
From 1921 through 1941 Maybach was building automobiles with first-ranking technology worldwide. They were always among the best, but also the most expensive fast movers on four wheels. Their top model was the "Zeppelin" of which only about 200 specimen were built. But few people were in a position to own a Maybach automobile. In the course of their 20 years of production they produced no more than 1800 vehicles, with Maybach always providing only the engine and the chassis. The best coachbuilders competed for the honor of creating constantly new dream cars, based on a Maybach chassis. At the Auto & Technik MUSEUM SINSHEIM we show one of the largest Maybach collections worldwide!
