Pierre DUMONT (1920–1987) - Lot 408
Pierre DUMONT (1920–1987) Mercedes-Benz 38/250 SSK 7.1-liter 1929 Gouache on card stock 25.5 x 39.5 cm (signs of moisture, mold, and soiling) Notes: “The letter ‘K’ in this car’s name stands for the German adjective ‘kurz’ (short) and refers to the shorter wheelbase compared to that of the SS on the opposite page. The SSK’s engine was the same 7.1-liter unit, producing 170 CV without a supercharger or 225 CV when supercharged. Opinions remain deeply divided regarding the true merits of these cars, which were likely less aggressive than they appeared and than the brand’s tradition might lead one to believe.” Bibliography: P. DUMONT, *Aux Temps Des Automobilistes*, Lazarus Publishing, 1965; our gouache reproduction appears on p. 133.
