1929 Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer “Boat Tail”

[dieselpunkflimflam]

So what’s so special about this car, you may ask? Well, when it launched in 1929, the unique “Boat Tail” was one of the most potent road cars in the world, having been developed as a road-going, race capable automobile.

Based on the 1927 Mercedes-Benz Typ S (W06), the car was completed in 680 S specification. What that means is it packed a 6.8-liter supercharged straight-six gasoline engine fed by two twin chock carburetors that made around 180 hp when the supercharger engaged —that only happened at high throttle; without the supercharger the engine delivered 120 hp.

180 horsepower may not seem impressive now, but back then that was twice and even thrice as much power than most cars of the era had. Like all S-Types the “Boat Tail” features a four-speed gearbox, leaf sprung live rear axle, and four wheel copper-plated drum brakes.

The first class lounge and dining room of the SS Ile-de-France. Completed in 1927 she was the first major ocean liner whose interiors were designed following a more contemporary style. This gave her a very modern look. She operated successfully between Le Havre and New York city and survived WW2, but was destroyed on purpose whilest being used as a film set in 1959.

Second, I’d like to thank my 300 followers! A very, very big THANK YOU to everyone who has made my experience on tumblr one worthwhile, and a big thank you to everyone who’s interacted with my proper bastard. You’re all wonderful.

And, thirdly, I’d like to take a moment to call out Dr. Seuss, Jon Bon Jovi, and Daniel Craig because this is my birthday so y’all can celebrate elsewhere. ( I’m kidding. A very happy 112th birthday to Dr. Seuss, a happy 54th birthday to Bon Jovi, and a happy 48th birthday to Daniel Craig! )

Wartime Starters

"We have no choice. We have to go in there."

"Forged by fire, we are united in one cause!"

"We fight for our homes. We fight for our freedom. We fight for very survival."

"War never solved anything. It only makes life more miserable for everyone."

"We must delve into the darkness. Sometimes bad things have to be done for the good."

"Do you even hear yourself? What happened to you?"

"I'm not letting you go. They'll kill you."

"You want to do what? No. That's suicide."

"No, don't let practicality get in the way."

"We can do this. I know we can."

"Stand firm! We can take them!"

"I think we found your inner mad scientist."

"I can still smell it, you know. I can't forget that smell."

"We go in and hit them hard. They'll never know what happened."

"All we have to do is last the night. Reinforcements will come in the morning."

"We're going to win this one, aren't we?"

"Hey! Hey! Stay with me. Don't you fall asleep yet."

"Does anyone know we're here?"

"There's no damn reason why we're out here. We're all just killing one another."

"This is going to be a one way trip, isn't it?"

"How is any of this going to change anything?"

"We have to stop them here. We're the last line of defense."

"Does it matter what my gender is or the color of my skin? We're all dead if we don't win."

"I take orders from no man."

"We could run, you know."

"There's no such thing as bomb proof."

"Am I the last one?"

"Hope? There's no hope here."

"We aren't going to be able to tell who is who out there."

"Can we move through this fog?"

"I'm no hero. I just did my job."

"I don't know about you, but I expect to get out of this alive and in one piece."
