Ever had a Mercedes-Benz just reach out and beg you to take it home? Then you know exactly how we felt when we spotted a shiny black Mercedes for sale at the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Fellbach. Except this was no car. It was a typewriter.


1954 300SL Prototype

1954 300SL Prototype

The year 1955 was magical for Daimler-Benz, never to be equaled by any other marque. Their teams won four championships: the Formula One championship with Fangio driving, the World Sports Car Championship with Moss, Fangio, and Kling, an SCCA Championship with Paul O'Shea, and the World Rally Championship with Werner Engel. Of these four simultaneous successes, the latter remains the least known. This 300SL, chassis 8627198071/7, is the car that Engel drove to the 1955 World Rally Championship.

A Tribute to Frank King

At StarFest92, for the first time, MBCA awarded the newly created Mercedes-Benz AG Award, recognizing an individual's lifetime contribution to the club. This award, the club's highest, will be presented only when a candidate is deemed especially qualified. The first recipient is a man who has helped more MBCA members than anyone else, MBCA Technical Director Frank King.
