Pierre DUMONT (1920–1987) - Lot 378
Pierre DUMONT (1920–1987) 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Gouache on card stock 19.5 x 49.5 cm (signs of moisture, mold, and soiling) Notes: “Despite its appearance, the large 540 K was merely a pale descendant of the powerful 36/220, 38/250, and SSK models. Its 5.4-liter inline-eight engine with overhead camshaft and supercharger proved bulky, heavy, and underpowered (180 CV) to propel such a body with panache. Its top speed was 160 km/h. Thanks to its four-wheel independent suspension—with swing axles and coil springs at the rear—the 540 K was, however, a remarkably comfortable car.” Bibliography: P. DUMONT, *Aux Temps Des Automobilistes*, Lazarus Publishing, 1965; our gouache reproduction appears on p. 190.
