The Maybach W 1 of 1919 was the first car of the Maybach company of Friedrichshafen and never reached series production. After the Versailles treaty banned airship and aircraft work, Karl Maybach turned the firm to automobiles and had a test car built on a purchased Daimler chassis, fitted with the characteristic Maybach radiator mask. German Wikipedia lists it as a single experimental car, a Versuchswagen, completed in 1919. The first series model, the W 3, followed in 1921. The W 1 name is shared with the engine of the same designation, and no W 2 car is known, because the W 2 designation went to an engine supplied for the Dutch Spyker.
