Scope and Content

The illustration depicts a 1928 Mercedes‑Benz Type 24/110/160 K in a clean technical side profile that highlights its long hood, spoked wheels, and elegant convertible body. The text identifies it as a Torpedo Transformable four‑passenger model with a body by Saoutchik of Paris, a coachbuilder known for extravagant, highly crafted designs; the French phrase simply means “Torpedo Transformable 4‑passenger, Breuete, body by Saoutchik of Paris.” The overall style suggests a promotional or catalog-style rendering meant to emphasize luxury and engineering precision. Illustration was done by John M. Peckham.
