Founded in 1926 through the merger of Daimler and Benz, Mercedes-Benz traces its roots to Karl Benz’s 1886 Patent-Motorwagen, widely regarded as the first practical automobile. The marque built its legacy through engineering innovation, luxury, and motorsport, producing icons such as the 300 SL Gullwing, 540K, and 600. Today, significant Mercedes-Benz models remain highly sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship, rarity, performance, and historical importance.
