He wanders back to 1978, thinking of the time when the extremely wealthy entrepreneur founded the Zimmer Motorcars Corporation. He feels better, begins to flirt because his builder Paul Zimmer from Syracuse, New York, wanted to create nothing more than a 'new standard in the world of automobiles' with his two models, according to his own advertising.
At least here a few tourists curiously turn to the Quicksilver room, after all. Night clubs, bars and discos sweep by, a rather bleak affair during the day and when it rains. Even the King of Jordan is said to have owned a Quicksilver room. On the other hand, he doesn't say a word about a proper air conditioning system and the sound system He would like everyone to know that Frank Sinatra, Sylvester Stallone and the basketball star and rapper Shaquille O'Neal own a Quicksilver roomwere.
ZIMMER QUICKSILVER FULL
It sees itself as a 'luxury car' and refers to its extremely fine full equipment: the finest leather, lots of wood and a velvety carpet in the foot and in the two trunk, plus seats, windows and exterior mirrors, all of which are of course moved by electric motors. But neither is the environment that Zimmer Quicksilver longs for. No flea market, no street musicians, just a few homeless people who seek shelter from the rain in the entrance of the ailing Rote Flora, that symbol for left-wing resistance in Hamburg. Nobody sits outside in front of the hip cafés on the shoulder blade piazza, the hotspot in the trendy Schanzenviertel. Too few pay attention to him, donate the usual applause in this weather. The swanky chrome jewelry including the barn door-sized radiator grille should weigh more than the entire plastic cover of the Quicksilver room. Its body - completely made of fiberglass. Thick raindrops drum on the roof of the ultra-flat coupé, but that doesn't seem to bother him, born in 1987. A car, visually somewhere between Batmobile and Maybach Exelero, but with its engine not under the long hood, but directly behind the driver's seats, because technically it is a Pontiac Fiero GT. The two men in the cramped cabin, however, they know exactly what a rare bird they are moving through the port city on their rounds: a Quicksilver room, one of only 170 copies built. Something like that can have an effect on the ego. It is even said that it is the only approved model of its kind in Germany. Enjoy the fact that nobody knows his name, that he is allowed to lead the sweet life of an exotic on Hamburg's streets. Feel the city lights dance on his black vinyl dress. Feel the amazed looks of passers-by who happen to see him. T he Zimmer Quicksilver knows that he will attract attention.
