Product Description

――The 20-year history of Maybach is full of "superlatives".
--Karl Maybach's motto is that the best is enough for his car, and the technically complex, visionary and progressive Maybach sets the standard for the automotive scene.
--Maybach developed and manufactured the first German-made car with brakes on all four wheels and an amazing displacement (eventually 7.9 liters).
――As a result, we also developed the first standard V12 cylinder engine for passenger cars. With a maximum output of 200hp, competition has intensified.
――However, in 1931, the policy was changed to the development of a 6-cylinder engine. This model series was called [W6] and was renamed the model series [DSH] in 1934.
--It stands for [Double-Six-Half] and is related to the halved 12-cylinder engine. The 12-cylinder engine designation is written as [DS] or [Double-Six], so it could be said that it was quite reasonable.
-The displacement of the 6-cylinder engine was exactly 5,184cc, 130 hp, and the car was accelerated to about 135 km / h, depending on the bodywork installed.
-As with the [larger] model, customers could of course order the desired bodywork setup for the DSH.
-It is recorded that not only the two-seater and four-seater convertible bodywork, but also the Pullman version and the version with a removable roof on the front seat were manufactured by a known body manufacturer.

--A part of a total of 34 vehicles with special bodywork (50 according to other sources) was exhibited at the Technik Museum Sinsheim.
--But these luxury cars were converted into mobile saws during difficult times after World War II.
--Until 1986, Georg Euwald owned the car even in his old age.
--In his last will, he donated a [Maybach saw] to the museum, but ordered it to be exhibited in an unrestored state.
