This particular 43 year old classic low grill coupe is a wonderful example of automotive geniuses at Mercedes at their finest as they came near the end of the 10 year run of this chassis was built. She is a 1970 model 3.5 coupe (emblem tab broken) with the most desirable floor shift,"Behr" a/c, and now refitted tastefully showing the outstanding original design and use of fresh leathers perfectly fitted that will fill your nose with the aroma of the new Palomino hides.As most would agree, the obvious beauty that catches anyones eye is the classic smooth and flowing lines. This low milage car has only been driven approximately 2400 miles per/year. The story of the 111 pillar-less coupe was retold to me by a Mercedes Benz USA trainer when at the headquarters of MBUSA in Montvale New Jersey. This remarkable vehicle chassis started its beginning when the designer -engineer Paul Bracq, designed it on a napkin. He was stuck by the simplicity of the arches of a famous bridge and he chose to recreate the simplicity of the line in the arch in the long simple curve of the roofline of the 111 chassis. Beautifully designed, his imagination gave birth to a vehicle automotive connoisseurs have admired for almost half a century. Clearly the coupe's sister vehicle the cabriolet,... has been easily appreciated by all, even revered. It long ago won a place among many an enthusiast. The general finery and quality of the 111 reflected the Mercedes-Benz nameplate it bore quite well and fetches quite often deeply into six figure$ in the marketplace for some time now. As convertibles usually are, they were always seen...while the coupes were just not as loudly "heard" till of late. The coupe version of the 111 chassis actually embodied Bracq's vision more purely all along. Now it appears the coupe is finally just now just beginning to experiencing its long overdue recognition and respect in the marketplace. Still affordable and very drivable, there were only 3270 of the coupes ever built. Some were either left to fade into time or even some converted into cabriolets. This vehicle represents some of the last hand built vehicles Mercedes ever built and the quality of that built is beyond reproach and has been proven many times over. Being the only affordable luxury 5-seat sedan for many decades it earned its prominence and still commands its place at the front of the valet line. Back in the day, only the super luxuries Rolls and Bentley were stiff competition. But as super-luxuries normally do, their value may rapidly declined and today is ironically challenged or most often static in comparison to the meteoric rise in value of the 111 coupe's and cabriolets.
I tried to compile a partial list of items performed or in need of attention. To be clear, I made a driver not a show car as I have wanted to enjoy the vehicle rain or shine, or just jump in to go with my family without fretting over every detail.

Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG coming to the New York Auto Show
Tue, 05 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz showed off the CLA45 AMG at a private event on the eve of the Geneva Motor Show, but was determined not to let it be photographed. We can talk about it, though - after all, a teaser image was released to promote the new Sony game Drive Club. The CLA45 AMG will use the same powertrain as the A45 AMG, which means a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. And that means a small four-door coupe sedan with the highest horsepower-per-liter in the segment. It will shift through the same seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, should also run out of speed at 155 miles per hour and have that three-stage stability control system.
As with its hatch sibling, the CLA is already so aggressive on the outside - and the parent company so anxious not to demolish the sedan's 0.22 coefficient of drag - that not much has been done to the cranked-up CLA. Even the rather thin tires on the standard only get a little less thin on the hotter variant. Inside will be the telltale AMG signs, with lots of red detailing and that flat-bottomed wheel among the giveaways. We'll know more later this month when the wraps come off at the New York International Auto Show.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013Maybe you saw our recent blog snippet on a bunch of US journos getting pulled over in the middle of nowhere in Catalunya, Spain for driving a bunch of new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG models. By all accounts, they weren't speeding - which makes me softly guffaw. I was there in that group, yet I had taken the more direct route into the mountains from Barcelona so that I could... well, so that I could go faster. No one hassled me and I had the Autovia all to myself. And it was the goodniks - the team players - who got nabbed because Spain had decided to suddenly enforce the never enforced "must carry an international driver's license" clause of the highway code.
The departing E63 AMG with 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from its M157 5.5-liter biturbo V8 hasn't exactly been poorly received. It isn't as crisp as, nor as pleasantly evil as its C63 AMG kid brother, but we generally accept that the heavier and larger car will always feel, well, heavier and larger.
As part of the 2014 E-Class mid-cycle redesign, Affalterbach decided to give its E63 AMG more power and torque for the occasion. The base car now gives off 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, while the hotter S version I tested (formerly the AMG Performance Pack) produces 577 hp and 590 lb-ft. The other big novelty is that E63 sedans will be available with both rear- and all-wheel drive, while all US-spec E63 wagons will be 4Matic equipped.
Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.
