Mercedes-Benz Classic CenterPage 3 More photos
Two mechanics work on a Mercedes-Benz sedan from the 1960s at the Classic Center in Germany. The company also has a Classic Center branch in Irvine, California. (I chatted with a German mechanic who'd worked in Irvine for a year on an exchange program.)
At any given moment, some cars at the Classic Center are likely to be undergoing restoration for the Mercedes-Benz Museum, which is located only a few kilometers away. Other vehicles are restored for private collectors, for independent museums, or for sale to wealthy auto enthusiasts who visit the Classic Center's showroom.
This Mercedes-Benz race car from the early years of the 20th Century was undergoing repairs during my visit.
