Austro-Daimler collection
Since the turn of the last century, Austria has had only three motor car manufacturers - Austro-Daimler, Steyr and on a much smaller scale, Puch. Not surprisingly, the country's close relationship with its influential neighbour Germany played a part in the creation and development of all these brands, including the 37-year rise and fall of prestige brand Austro-Daimler. The company was founded in 1899 when Daimler established the Daimler Motors Corporation (DMG) in Vienna to produce around 100 copy-cat Daimlers annually, a move that made DMG the automotive industry's first multi-national.
