A famous picture showing several workers standing on top of a DKW was shown in the Advertising automobiles thread. I have collected some pictures around that theme which might be of interest. Feel free to add some more photographs. To start with, once again the DKW:
... and some more:
...
Nice idea.
A Knox Martin truck test:
Some more demonstrations of strength concerning the cars directly or to prove the strength of other things by using cars:
:thumbsup:
Some more:
There are some more on my HDD :) :
Another nice one:
Another pictures ! :)
:thumbsup:
Maybe you could restore the starting photo with the DKW?
Done! Most of my other pics have been reposted by SACO, thanks.
I had planned to make a topic on " The gang of the guys who crush cars " ;)
:thumbsup:
A different demonstration of strength and a 1925 Fiat on the stairs:
It looks as if the DKW guys had another try upside down (sorry for the bad picture):
:o
And yet another AWZ P70 demonstration of strength and two nice Volvo experiments:
:thumbsup:
Ford T on stairs:
A small demonstration
There's nothing new...
E.J. Pennington thought this one up in 1896. :)

I know it's off topic, but I couldn't resist:

A demonstration of... something besides strength. (I'm sure this is too recent of a picture, but I couldn't resist.)
:)
;D

I think I just saw her in the women's shot putt in Rio.
The P70 was quite popular to stand upon. Here's a colour shot:

Maybe the oldest car demonstration of strength I ever saw:
One of Egon Brütsch´s fibreglass/plastic auto bodies during a stress test:
A Wikov 35:
That IS quite impressive.
Don´t think it was a metal roof.
Another Packard stress test:
Polizeistaffel:
Good idea to post a scene like this in this group!
The flag and type of the bikes indicates that this event took place in West Berlin.
Now this Citroen Rosalie test of 1933 IS impressive in my eyes:
:thumbsup:
I think the pictures fit better here. I have deleted the topic "endurance tests".
;D
A very French demonstration of strength :)
Panhard, 1934
