People in a southern town of Croatia plan to build a monument to Mercedes-Benz car that symbolises success for its rural inhabitants
A town in southern Croatia whose citizens are obsessed with Mercedes-Benz cars plans to build a monument to the German car that symbolises success for its rural inhabitants.
"I can assure you there are also many kept in the garages. I own 13 Mercedes old-timers and four of them are registered for driving," he said at a ceremony on Sunday to lay the foundation stone for the monument. In the 1960s and 1970s, many people from the rural Imotski area went to work in West Germany to support their families back home. When they came for a visit or decided to move back, driving a Mercedes-Benz was seen as a sign of success.
