Louis William Steinwedel is well known to aficionados of classic and sports cars who read the national motor magazines. His articles there, always written with firsthand knowledge of his subjects and with unusual charm (which adds something to automotive writing), appeal to readers who appreciate more than just nuts and bolts.
The author practices law in Baltimore, but those who know him say that his heart belongs to the more romantic things of life. Among his interests are literature, travel, collecting antique guns, photography, psychic phenomena, and of course great cars, which he will write about at the drop of a law book.
The Mercedes-Benz Story is one of the author's three books about cars. The others are The Duesenberg (with J. Herbert Newport), the story of America's greatest car. and The Golden Age of Sports Cars, an account of the "automotive Camelot" between 1919 and 1939. He is also author of The Gun Collector's Fact Book, a collector's book on the theme of the effect of firearms development on Western civilization from 1500 to 1900.
