Mercedes Benz Museum - Stuttgard Daimler “riding car” – For Gotttlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, the riding car was na early test vehicle for their small high-speed internal combustion engine, the so-called Grand-father Clock.

A great capture of this early motorized vehicle, Antonio. An interesting looking bit of machinery.

Excellent subject and photography. The shadows caused by the lighting add extra interest and effect.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
