1/43 Mercedes-Benz 170 Streamline Erdmann & Rossi 1933 (Gold) [04040]

Product description ※Please note that product information is not in full comprehensive meaning because of the machine translation.

■ From around 1906, Berlin-based Erdmann & Rossi specialized in the production of automotive bodies.
Even before the First World War, one of its customers was a German noble, and even in the 1920 s, the factories relied on wealthy customers to provide neat bodies for luxury brand Rolls-Royce, Holhi or Bentley chassis.
Erdmann & Rossi attracted attention at IAMA in February 1933 with its highly aerodynamic shape based on the Mercedes-Benz 170.
Painted in old gold, it certainly sparked heated debate because on the first day of the trade show, Mercedes-Benz issued a "Don't Put Star-Emb Rem on cars."
The 170 Mercedes-Benz's extreme curve and teardrop design didn't suggest it was a standard model anymore. The front wheels were still exposed because of the steering angle, but the rear wheels were completely covered.
Apparently, Erdmann & Rossi's Mercedes-Benz was years ahead of its time. Perhaps this was also its destiny. No supporters were found, and it quickly disappeared into oblivion.
