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.

Maybach officially discontinues all models for 2013
Tue, 14 Aug 2012The word "Maybach" has joined the long list of synonyms for the word "kaput." Mercedes-Benz released the price list for the 2013 models of its super-luxury sedans, with the price column simply stating "Discontinued" for each one of them.
The 2012 models, should there be any left for 11th-hour buyers, maintain the increased MSRPs that Daimler slapped on them late last year after it was known the brand would be terminated next year. But you might still be able to wrangle that $100,000 rebate if you ask nicely, or in Russian, or have Rick Ross ask for you.
It shouldn't be too long before we see the ultimate version of the next generation S-Class, the S600 Pullman, that will replace Maybach. Intriguingly, it's said the Pullman will be offered with every S-Class engine, even the four-cylinder diesel.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).

Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
