Description

A superb and rare photo of
Adler factory display at the 1951 motorcycle show in Amsterdam
.
The Adler factory produced
bicycles
,
typewriters
, and
motorcycles
in addition to cars. Before
World War I
, the company used
De Dion
two- and four-
cylinder
engines in cars that ranged from 1032 cc to 9081 cc; beginning in 1902 (the year
Edmund Rumpler
became technical director),
they used their own engines as well. These cars, driven by Erwin Kleyer and Otto Kleyer (sons of the company founder Heinrich Kleyer) and by Alfred Theves won many sporting events. In the 1920s, Karl Irion raced many Adlers; popular models of the period included the 2298 cc, 1550 cc, and 4700 cc four-cylinders and the 2580 cc six-cylinders. A few of the
Standard
models, built between 1927 and 1934, featured
Gropius
designed coachwork. The
Adler Standard 6
, which entered volume production in 1927, had a 2540 cc or 2916 cc six-cylinder engine, while the
Adler Standard 8
which appeared a year later use a 3887 cc eight-cylinder engine. The Standard 6, first seen in public at the
Berlin Motor Show
in October 1926 was the first Continental European car to use hydraulic brakes (the
Triumph 13/35
offered them in the UK in 1924 and
Duesenberg
offered them in the US in 1921), when it was fitted with an ATE-Lockheed system. 1927 to 1929
Clärenore Stinnes
was the first to circumnavigate the world by car, in an Adler Standard 6.
