Okay guys, to compare some details of the MB W 154 streamliner with the AU Typ D streamliners in the AU thread I'm looking for pictures of this car in a good quality. Is there a possibility to post some in this lovely thread. Thank's in advance for your help, any comment will be appreciated.
Help please: Looking for pictures of the MB streamliner of 1939 at Dessau

Holger, it seems I have the honour to be the first to push on the start button!
Two 3 litre-cars at Dessau:
The W125 with V12-DAB engine removed and replaced by the M154-V12
and the W154-189441 chassis fitted with a different kind of body
But it seems this body was tested quite a long time before Dessau, in march 1938, at Monza, on the W154-189436. The object was to enter such cars at Tripoli, a very fast circuit. It seems the tests were not satisfying as classical W154s raced (and won!) at Tripoli.

Jean Maurice, merci pour cette grande collection.
Thanks a lot. I will use these pictures to compare them with the AU streamliners AND with the AWE streamliner of 1954.....Yes Uechtel ;)
