This exact car is the subject of a tattoo on my upper right thigh. And I don't mean this make and model, but THIS very car.

The Merrimac?

BOOOOO!!

Barney Oldfield? Hehe, that is the first thing that came to mind. I used to work in an amusement park and they had a ride where you went around a track in cars like this. It was called Barney Oldfield.

Barney Oldfield was one of America's first racing celebrities. He's buried in Holy Cross cemetery in Hollywood, I've been to his grave. Bing Crosby, Bela Lugosi, and Sharon Tate are also buried there.
He drove a lot of cars, but this isn't one of them.

It's an old Mercedes-Benz.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, right?

Mercedes Simplex 60 hp.

That would be my guess too.

nice car.

Google search of the Licence Plate "GY-5145" brought up this, so I'll go along with Sir Sirius and say Mercede's 60 H.P. (Chassis number 860 ), why you have a tattoo of it is another story

Seeing as how it's Sunday and all, I might as well and say yeah...Enjoy the Cookie of Ultimate Tastiness, Mr. Wilson.
As to the tattoo, it's from a painting of the 1903 Gordon Bennet cup race in Ireland, with Camille Jenatzy at the wheel with the car doing a power slide-one of my coolest tats and the one no one ever sees. At least in public...

Don't forget Sir Sirius got it right before me.

Must be a bigass tattoo to get all that in.

Sir Sirius got his cookie via PM, on the understanding that Mercedes-Simplex was building Mercedes designs in the U.S.
And the tattoo is a biggie...
