Mercedes-Benz: 110 Years of Excellence
Mercedes: Nothing But the Best
Mercedes was born in 1896, over 100 years ago, with a simple Benz Buggy. It has changed with the passing decades, but always
maintained a standard of excellence rarely met in the industry: Nothing But The Best
Mercedes is all about style, grace, unbroken lines, aesthetic simplicity and design that takes your breath away. It is much more than just
a driving machine; the Mercedes is a status symbol.
Mercedes touches something in the car aficionado in us all. It had the sleek look of the luxury sport car, like an animal about to pounce.
It has a history of speed that attracts, a dangerous side we like to adopt as our own. It had individuality, uniqueness, unprecedented in
automotive history. It is immediately identifiable, down to its distinctive logo. It is cosmopolitan, admired and respected around the
world. It is everything a car owner wants in a car--an extension of oneself on the road.
Mercedes takes a close look at this paragon of automotive virtue and the models that have kept it not only at the forefront of
automotive design, but often completely outside, a lone figure in an otherwise crowded landscape. Author John Heiling provides an
in-depth examination of models from across the decades and an appreciation for a car that has and continues to leave its mark. Backed
by outstanding full-color photography, Mercedes provides what its namesake has always endeavored to achieve: Nothing But The
Best .
