The Emblem

The name Mercedes was given to Daimler's Phoenix auto when Emil Jillinek, a businessman, ordered three dozen cars. He suggested to Daimler that the cars be named after his daughter, Mercedes. It was so popular that it was adopted as a trademark in 1902.

The Lines

After WWI, financial problems necessitated a merger between Daimler and Benz in 1926. Subsequent years saw much experimentation in the racing field in which Mercedes emerged the powerful leader. WW II stopped the car production and many of the plants were destroyed.
