      Original german: Ausgestellt in der Kraft- und Arbeitsmaschinenausstellung in München Seit dem 12. September 1888 Die Münchener Blätter schreiben über diesen Wagen: In der Kraft- und Arbeitsmaschinenausstellung finden seit gestern mehrere kurze Probefahrten mit dem patentierten Motorwagen der Firma Benz & Co. in Mannheim statt. Der Wagen ist eine viersitzige komfortable Kalsche mit umlegbarem Regendach und ruht auf drei Rädern, deren vorderes durch eine äußerst einfache Vorrichtugn, ähnlich wie bei den Tricycles gesteuert werden kann. Hinter dem Rücksitz im Wagenkasten ist ein kleiner zierlich gearbeiteter Benzinmontor angebracht, der mit den Hinterräden in Verbindung steht. Durch einen Druck auf einen unter der Steuervorrichtung angebrachten Hebel setzt sich der Wagen in Bewegung. Derselbe kann auf verhältnismäßig kleiner Fläche umkehren und sofort zum Stehen gebracht werden. Seine größte Fahrschnelligkeit ist die eines in scharfem Trabe fahrenden Fuhrwerkes. Translated via DeepL (which is impressive, by the way): Exhibited in the power and work machinery exhibition in Munich Since September 12, 1888 The Münchener Blätter (papers) write about this car: At the Motor and Working Machines Exhibition, several short test drives have been taking place since yesterday with the patented motor carriage of Benz & Co. in Mannheim. The carriage is a four-seater comfortable calash with foldable rain roof and rests on three wheels, the front one of which can be steered by an extremely simple device, similar to the tricycles. Behind the rear seat in the body of the car there is a small petrol motor, delicately made, which communicates with the rear wheels. The car is set in motion by pressing a lever located under the control device. It can turn around in a relatively small area and be brought to an immediate stop. Its greatest driving speed is that of a carriage driving at a sharp trot.

        This does not sound like an ad. It's just a regular newspaper story. The ad mentioned here is a genuine ad, where they tell you you can buy this item for a certain price, and they pump you up on how cool the item is.

          It is an ad that quotes a newspaper story.
