Carl Benz was working on his patent Motor Wagon, while Gottlib Daimler was engineering his four-wheeler motor carriage. Together, these men set the world moving. Daimler placed an order of 36 cars in 1901, and this is where Mercedes name was incorporated, Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschat had produced a special car for Emil Jellinek.
