Google translate is pretty good but it choked on the German-English translation of this unusual scene…
Published in 1937, it’s probably a Benz magazine advertorial piece of some sort. I wonder what model it is – the car? Explanatory input welcome, I don’t think Mercedes were building ML’s back then.

Hi Mark, I love getting your emails with so much info and the photos from bygone eras are just so special.
In relation to your MB photo, it looks a little like a 1937 Mercedes-Benz 230N Special-Order Roadster, but I could be wrong there. Just very similar.
Have an awesome New Year and I look forward to your updates. Cheers, Lisa
Great to hear from you Lisa,
Nice to know what the car is. It’s such a long time ago that I drafted that piece I’ve got no idea at all where I found that shot. It’s a beauty tho – and intriguing!?
Mark
