Name: Daimer Motorkutsche 1886
Brand: Daimer

There were around 10,000 car brands and designers - most of them have disappeared. Among the brands that have disappeared is the German Daimler. The technical director of the Deutz gas engine factory, Gottlieb Daimler, set up his own business in 1872 together with his employee Wilhelm Maybach and together they created the first four-stroke engine. In 1890, the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft was founded, which was only just saved from bankruptcy five years later by the Briton Frederick Simms. In 1901, he then adopted the name of his daughter Mercedes as the brand name.
