Ebels are a lot like women that lack a low cut dress that zips up the side...neither get the love that they deserve...

Completely wrong watch to celebrate the Stromlinienwagen Mercedes W196, one of my favorite racecars ever, on par with Porsche’s 917/30.

The dial - and the fabulous W196 finishing - are a glimmering silver.

Much like under_score’s feets… :lol:

I got a chance to get close to this chassis when it was at Sears several years ago.

The long-tail and covered fenders gave their 1954 Formula 1 car incredible speed at tracks like Monza - where the additional weight was less of a penalty than the longer legs the streamlining provided. In addition to the streamlined version, Mercedes-Benz also used otherwise-mechanically identical but lighter and more nimble open-wheeled version of the same F1 cars at shorter tracks.

It was powered by a 2.5 litre straight eight with desmodromic valve gear and direct fuel injection.

The thing about 1954’s Monza - not only was the banking extreme… it was also bumpy as hell.

That shapely bulk of clever racing history and beautiful automotive art that demonstrated to the world the impact of airflow upon performance has just recently sold for €51,000,000
