Regent Street Vintage Car Show. The Mercedes + Cadillac

[John G]

A couple of entries that are from the origins of the better known Brands.

they truly are royal looking. But as beautiful as they are - soooooo not what I would want (except for taking photos of course.)

Hi Elsa
          Very High Maintenance these are, but a well thought out design based closely to a horse carriage, Preserved in all their glory..
           The efficiency of these early engines were measured against Horse power.
           I have a couple of more recent classics from this day, maybe these are more to your taste.

Very beautiful cars. Thanks for posting!

Notice that the Cadillac doesn't have a hand crank for starting. From The History Channel a friend of the founder was injured by his Cadillac when the engine kicked backwards. The friend died as I recall about a week to ten days latter. Electric starters were soon implemented on Cadillacs.

Amazing condition! They look brand new

Hi Eric
          There will be a fair amount of elbow grease required to get this one looking brand new.
