AMILCAR - CGS
1925

Vintage detailed artist rendering in colored pencil, probably done in the 1930s, of an Amilcar CGS being driven hard in a club trial. In 1925, Amilcar introduced the CGS model, a DOHC six-cylinder, which produced 83 hp which was eventually "tweaked" to 108 hp. The CGS swept the competition, winning 73 times in 1926 alone. In this rendering, the artist captures not only the determination of the participants, but an accurate technical depiction of the Amilcar itself.

ADAC EIFELRENNEN RACE -1931

A beautiful silver gelatin photograph of Bernd Rosemeyer piloting his 500-hp Auto Union on the Eifelrennen circuit. Rosemeyer won the race. The ADAC Eifelrennen was a race held in Germany's Eifel mountains even before the Nurburgring circuit was built there.

Rosemeyer and the great Tazio Nuvolari were the only two drivers credited with taming the mid-engined Auto Union "monsters." Rosemeyer died attempting a world speed record on the Autobahn in January 1938.
