Blitzen Benz engine

First firing of 1909 Blitzen Benz 21 liter engine after major restoration at Leydon Restorations in Lahaska, PA. Subsequent running proved smoother after discovery and correction of a magneto misfunction.

If it smokes that much with modern lubricants, what must it have been like with the near-crude oils of 1909?!

Two engines were created or so the story went. Look at the Braender Bull dog mold on eBay
