History of the manufacturer Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes-Benz traces its roots to the pioneering work of Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler , the inventors of the modern automobile at the end of the 19th century. The merger of their respective companies in 1926 created Mercedes-Benz AG, creating one of the world's most prestigious manufacturers.
From the very beginning, the German brand has distinguished itself through its revolutionary approach to automotive engineering. Mercedes cars quickly gained a reputation for technical excellence and refined luxury , becoming a symbol of German craftsmanship. This philosophy of constant innovation has enabled Mercedes-Benz to survive the decades while maintaining its status as the absolute benchmark.
The history of Mercedes-Benz is intertwined with that of the automobile itself. From the first Benz car in 1886 to contemporary models, each generation has contributed its share to building a legend that continues to fascinate car enthusiasts around the world.
The three-pointed star: symbol of universal ambition
The famous Mercedes-Benz logo, the three-pointed star , tells a fascinating story that dates back to Gottlieb Daimler's visionary ambitions. In 1872, long before the creation of his first engines, Daimler drew the star on a postcard sent to his wife, predicting that the symbol would one day shine over his factories.
Each branch of the star represents a domain of conquest: land, sea, and air. This prophetic vision has been fulfilled beyond all expectations, with Mercedes producing not only automobiles, but also marine and aeronautical engines. The star has become much more than a simple logo: it embodies the pioneering spirit and technical excellence that have characterized the brand for over a century.
The same star adorning the hood of your model carries within it the entire history of a brand that revolutionized our relationship with mobility. Each model car Mercedes thus becomes the guardian of an exceptional heritage, a silent witness to a unique industrial epic.
The gray color of this model car also evokes the discreet but assured elegance of vintage Mercedes, this sober shade which underlined the timeless and distinguished character of the creations of the German brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.

What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
