Mercedes-Benz is a multinational division of the German manufacturer Daimler AG, and the brand is used for luxury automobiles, buses, coaches, and trucks. Mercedes-Benz is headquartered in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
THE HISTORY OF MERCEDES BENZ
Mercedes-Benz traces its origins to Karl Benz's creation of the first
petrol-powered car, the
Benz Patent Motorwagen, patented in January 1886 and
Gottlieb Daimler and engineer
Wilhelm Maybach's conversion of a stagecoach by the addition of a petrol engine later that year. The
Mercedes automobile was first marketed in 1901 by Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft. The first Mercedes-Benz
brand name vehicles were produced in 1926, following the merger of Karl Benz's and Gottlieb Daimler's companies into the Daimler-Benz company. Throughout the
1930s, Mercedes-Benz produced the
770 model, a car that was popular during Germany's
Nazi period.
Adolf Hitler was known to have driven multiple of these cars during his time in power, with
bulletproof windshields. Most of the surviving models have been sold at auctions to private buyers. One of them is currently on display at the
War Museum in
Ottawa,
Ontario. Mercedes-Benz has introduced many technological and safety
innovations that later became common in other vehicles. Mercedes-Benz is one of the best known and established automotive brands in the world, and is also the world's oldest automotive brand still in existence today.

Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft including the merger into Daimler-Benz.
MERCEDES BENZ C CLASS
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a compact executive car produced by Mercedes-Benz. Introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the 190 (W201) range, the C-Class was the smallest model in the marque's lineup until the arrival of the A-Class in 1997. The C-Class is built at Mercedes-Benz factories in Sindelfingen and Bremen, Germany as well as numerous satellite factories in other countries. The very first C-Class (W202) sedan was produced on 1 June 1993, and the first second generation (W203) rolled off the assembly line on July 18, 2000. The most recent third generation (W204) launched in 2007.
Although originally sold as sedan and station wagon body styles, the W203 series in 2000 debuted a fastback/hatcback coupe version that later when facelifted diverged into the
Mercedes-Benz CLC-Class. The CLC-Class remained in production through to 2011 when replaced by a new W204-based C-Class coupe for the 2012 model year. All three generations of C-Class have also formed the basis of Mercedes-Benz's larger mid-size coupes: the
CLK-Class (C208 and C209) and
E-Class (C207) coupes.
