A 'Van Gogh' of the future.

John Apen reports that this well preserved 1914 Mercedes 28/95 skiff bodied tourer was one of the crowdpullers at Pebble Beach last weekend. Cars like these that have been touched by time and history in a friendly way is rapidly becoming ultimately scarce. Now try to think one or two hundred years ahead. Which car will be valued most, this one or a most meticulously restored example? While chewing this assumption check the car's practical luggage compartment and vorkriegs Armaturenbrett. Also note the central accelerator, an ergonomic conception that lost in favour of Rolls Royce's set-up with the pedal positioned on the far right.
