Mercedes-Benz started out as two different companies. Karl Benz holds the honor of producing the world's first automobile (even though it only had three wheels) in 1886. Years later in 1901, the Mercedes was created by the Daimler corporation. In 1926, the companies started by Daimler and Benz merged to form Daimler-Benz. The more familiar brand became Mercedes-Benz. Since the beginning, the brand has been known for its excellent attention to the small details. Even today, if you're driving through Dallas in a Mercedes-Benz, people know you're doing ok for yourself.
In the 50s and 60s, Mercedes-Benz really worked on its image as the manufacturer that produced the world's most luxurious automobiles. The 70s and 80s were also about luxury, but Mercedes-Benz began to concentrate on safety aspects as well, making the Mercedes-Benz one of the nicest, fastest and most safe luxury vehicles on the market. You might not have seen a lot of people driving a Mercedes-Benz in Dallas back then, but there were some.
The brand was immortalized in connection with luxury in the 1970s with Janis Joplin's famous song where she crooned about wanting a Mercedes-Benz. People in Dallas and all over still seek the car out today as a status symbol that they've made it. While the new Mercedes-Benz models are top of the line, there are still a lot of their vehicles on the roads.
