Mercedes-Benz

The First Century
USA (circa 1986)

In 1986 Mercedes celebrated the 100 year anniversary of the automobile. Way back in December 1900, the first Mercedes car hit the roads of Stuttgart. Less than two months later, Mercedes participated in its first motor racing event.

A century past, the German marque had set the benchmark for excellence in the automotive industry.

Our Mercedes SL Heritage feature remains a favorite on this site, and for good reason. Mercedes have always been built to a standard none have been able to match.
