Bavaria's Hans Glas, which built its success on the tiny, utilitarian Goggomobil, displayed a flashy new luxury coupé that has the sleek, low lines of Italy's Lancia, does 125 m.p.h. and costs $4,500. Daimler-Benz introduced a new Mercedes, the 250 S, which still bears a strong family resemblance but is longer, lower and rounder. Italy was represented by a glittering array of high-priced Ferraris, Maseratis and Alfa Romeos as well as by the nimble, lower-priced Fiats. As always, the Rolls-Royce exhibit drew large crowds.

...racket of screaming engines echoes deafeningly off cliffs and building walls. The accidents are spectacular. One year a driver ended up with his radiator embedded in the ticket office of Monte Carlo's railroad station, and in 1955 Italy's great Alberto Ascari drove his Lancia over the sea wall into the Mediterranean...
