Additional Details:
A 1914 Daimler is parked in front of the Sir John Bennett Jewelry Store and Clock at Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Michigan. A man and woman stand next to the car. Fit for a king, shrouded in mystery is this 1914 Daimler, purportedly a gift from Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany to the King of Bulgaria. In 1936, the exiled Kaiser disclaimed any knowledge of the car. The Daimler-Benz Company reported that the serial numbers corresponded to those on a car sold to a Copenhagen businessman, but the description proved it to be another automobile. The handmade limousine is a classic example of the craftsmanship of German coach builders. The interior is upholstered in broadcloth and finished in inlaid rosewood and mahogany. To of the inside window and door fixtures are delicately carved ivory and gold-plated. To date, the car's origin is still unknown. Here it is parked before the Sir John Bennett Jewelry Store.
