- It was mentioned that the name MERCEDES came to the Daimler Benz
- marquee in 1920 and was the name of one of the offspring of either
- Karl Benz or Gottlieb Daimler. This is incorrect. The name comes
- from the daughter of an Austrian financier named Jellinek (last name)
- who invested heavily in the Daimler Benz company.

- But it still has nothing to do with motorcycles.
