Welcome to the Autopaedia Gallery!
All photos which are presented here were taken by me. File naming convention is as follows:
"Manufacturer Model (optional generation/series) Years_of_model_prod (Year_of_unit_prod Version)"
Years of model production is a period when this particular model was produced. Year of unit production I try to define based on car details or, when it is possible, on information from the owner. During events cars have often information sheets behind a windscreen.

Remarks
|
I have grouped Mercedes models chronologically by type and class. I have separated Mercedes-Benz buses, Mercedes-Benz vans, Mercedes-Benz trucks, Mercedes-Benz Unimogs and Mercedes-Benz Knight from the Mercedes-Benz catalog. I have separated Mercedes trucks, Mercedes buses and Unimogs into separate catalogs. I separated Daimler and Benz cars that were previously grouped in the Mercedes-Benz prehistory catalog into separate catalogs. I did the same with the Hanomag-Henschel brand, separating the pre-merger models into separate catalogs. In this way, the number of models increased significantly.
