Across Two Worlds by Car

For this prototype road movie, race car driver Clärenore Stinnes (1901 – 1990) and Swedish cameraman Carl-Axel Söderström covered 46,758 kilometres. Travelling in an Adler sedan and sponsored by companies like Bosch, Aral, Varta, and Continental, they drove through 23 countries and once around the globe – from Frankfurt across the Balkans, to the East, northwards to Siberia, across the Gobi Desert, from China to Japan, then along the Andes to the USA and, finally, by ship from New York back to Europe.
