Vintage 1962 Mercedes-Benz European Delivery Print Advertisement — Original 1960s Automotive Ad
Approximately 9.5 x 13.5 inches.
This vintage 1962 Mercedes-Benz magazine advertisement captures the golden era of European factory delivery, when American buyers could collect their new sedan directly from Stuttgart and motor through the continent in effortless elegance. The original print ad centers on a stately dark Mercedes-Benz Fintail (W111) sedan posed in the ivy-draped courtyard of Schloss Mitterill Sport and Gun Club in Austria's Salzach Valley, with additional models visible in the background. Headlined 'This is the Way to See Europe…and America Too,' this collectible ad speaks to postwar American affluence and the romance of European travel — a compelling piece for Mercedes-Benz collectors and vintage automotive advertising enthusiasts alike.
