In 1908, the German Imperial Automobile Club organized the first Prinz Heinrich Tour. This Prince Heinrich Benz was soon sent overseas; it was sold in this configuration by the Benz Auto Import Company in New York and was used by Barney Oldfield in his traveling auto racing shows all over North America. It was advertised by promoters as the 'Blitzen Benz's Little Brother.' Eddie Maier of Maier Brewery was Oldfield's sponsor for the Benz and it is believed to be the earliest race car to have sponsorship painted on it: 'Firestone Tires - My Only Life Insurance' was the motto. Lindley Bothwell purchased the Benz in 1939. It is currently in the care of Ann Bothwell.
