The History of Mercedes-Benz
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes-Benz? That’s the opening line of “Mercedes-Benz,” a song most famously recorded by Janis Joplin in the early 1970s. The tune gently poked fun at materialism and our desire for the finer things in life. It’s fitting that the renowned German marque figures prominently in the lyric. Mercedes-Benz has long been known for crafting vehicles that emphasise luxury and refinement. For many, its vehicles are sleek symbols of status, success and achievement.
