    NEW Press Information Coburg, December 10th, 2010 NEW 2 The legend returns. The NEW STRATOS will be officially presented on 29./30.11.2010, at the Paul Ricard Circuit in Le Castellet. The legendary Lancia Stratos HF was without a doubt the most spectacular and successful rally car of the 70s. With its thrilling lines and uncompro- mising design tailored to rally use, the Stratos not only single-handedly rewrote the history of rallying, it won a permanent place in the hearts of its countless fans with its dramatic performance on the world’s asphalt and gravel tracks – a performance which included three successive world championship titles. For Michael Stoschek, a collector and driver of historic racing cars, as well as a successful entrepreneur in the automotive supply industry, the development and construction of a modern version of the Stratos represents the fulfillment of a long-held dream. Back in 2003, the dream had already begun to take on a concrete form; now, at last, it has become a reality: In November 2010, forty years after the Stratos’ presentation at the Turin Motor Show, the New Stratos will be publicly presented for the first time at the Paul Ricard Circuit. The legend returns. NEW 3 A retrospective. It all began in 1970, at the Turin exhibition stand of the automobile designer, Bertone. The extreme Stratos study on display there – a stylistic masterpiece by the designer Marcello Gandini – didn’t just excite visitors, but caught the attention of Cesare Fiorio, Lancia’s team manager at the time… and refused to let go.

    Jack Anderson posing with his ultra-rare 1957 Series 1 T’Bird Supercharged F Code One of only 15 built and the only one of the remaining 8 to be in original and unrestored condition Jack is the owner of Laura Buick/GMC in Collinsville. Every year, he invites our club to a car show at his dealership. This year, unfortunately, weather caused the cancellation of the event. Jack then invited our club to join his Thunderbird club for an afternoon at his farm and fishing lake. Representing our club were 11 members along with spouses and guests. We were treated to a catered luncheon under a very large tent. Many cars of varying variety were brought to the event. There were Thunderbirds, a Pantera, a Superformance Cobra, Fords and our beloved Buicks on display. Jack had also invited the Cadillac club and some Mopar cars, but they were unable to make it there. Show Field with all of the Buicks Mark and Sherree, Mike and Sandy Chet, Pete, Rich and Patrick Dave, Bob and Barb, Mary and Jeanne (Notice that Dave is entertaining the ladies) A special Gateway Buick Club thank you goes out to Jack and Laura Anderson for hosting a marvelous afternoon of food, fellowship and cars!! They could not have been more accommodating and gracious in welcoming us to their event. Jack indicated that this might become an annual event. If that is so, you all need to block out your calendar and plan to attend. Details to come later, but this year was the second Sunday of June, which is probably a good guess as to the date for next year.

  • Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrows Silver
    Event Information Tickets Visitors Guide Charity Sponsors News & Media Gallery MERCEDES -BENZ SILVER ARROWS CELEBRATE SILVER ANNIVERSARY LE MANS VICTORY AT 2014 AMELIA ISLAND CONCOURS d'ELEGANCE From their glory days in the 1930s, the all-conquering racers from Mercedes-Benz were known with affection, respect and, occasionally, fear, as the "Silver Arrows". The nickname has its roots in a clever solution to a weight restriction mandated by the grand prix rule book. During the 1930s, to save weight and meet the international regulation requiring grand prix cars to race under the maximum weight of 750 Kilograms (1650 lb.), Mercedes-Benz removed Germany's traditional racing white paint from their racers. The menacing look of the bare alloy bodies suited the aerodynamic shapes designed by Mercedes-Benz engineers. At once the fans and the press nicknamed the new polished, bare-metal Mercedes Grand Prix racers the "Silver Arrows". It wasn't hyperbole. Speeds over 200 mph were recorded by the Silver Arrows in the late 1930s! The nickname stuck and it persists today. Now, the fastest of all Mercedes-Benz's Silver Arrows will be reunited with Jochen Mass, its Le Mans-winning driver and honoree of the 19th annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, on the 25th anniversary of Mercedes-Benz power's 1989 Le Mans victory. On June 10th and 11th, 1989 a Sauber C9, powered by a five-liter turbocharged Mercedes-Benz V-8 engine, set a Le Mans speed record that will stand forever. On the way to victory, the new C9 Silver Arrows recorded a top speed of 253.5 mph on Le Mans' long 3.7 mile Mulsanne straight.
