  • Monterey Car Week 2017
    San Francisco Bay Area Section, Mercedes-Benz Club of America Connect to Website at: www.sfba.mbca.org September 2017 e-mail edition MONTEREY CAR WEEK 2017 THE CARMEL MISSION CLASSIC When Fr. Junipero Serra, recently canonized Saint Serra, founded the Carmel Mission in 1771 he could not have imagined that it would become an iconic jewel of the Monterey Peninsula. The courtyard, which in his day was home to carts pulled by donkeys bustling about, is now home to some of the nest collector cars on the Wednesday of car week in August of every year. The signature cars this year included actress Delores Del Rio's 1930 Dusenberg, proudly shown by the San Francisco Academy of Art University, and a 1937 Super Charged Cord 812 Cabriolet once owned by Al Jolson. The historic Wonder Bread race car of 1930s Indy fame was also a crowd pleaser. Providing a spectacular contrast to the above classics was the custom car phenomena "The Impostor," a 1965 Impala built on a corvette frame by Chip Foose. We were blessed to once again have Barry Maguire as guest MC and Danny Sullivan signing autographs. The Carmel Mission Classic is the only show during car week where one hundred percent of the net proceeds go to charity. The Knights of Columbus, which is the world's largest Catholic fraternal organization, of which I am a proud member, put on this blessed event. As co-chairman and founder, I am proud to have added the blessing of the cars ceremony performed by Bishop Richard Garcia of the Diocese of Monterey.

Michelin’s American Period in Milltown: Design, Illustration and Advertising by Pioneer Tire Companies (1900-1930). Doctoral dissertation. University of Barcelona, 2015 [English translation, 2018]. RACING EVENTS AS A TOOL FOR TIRE PROMOTION At the end of the nineteenth century technological improvements applied to bicycles made an inexpen- sive and autonomous means of land transportation accessible to everyone. It was a new way of traveling freely, without any limitations other than the physical capacity of cyclists, the state of roads and high- ways and the robustness of the machine. The numerous cycling events were also a reflection of their boom as well as the battle between different manufacturers to demonstrate the qualities of their product. The success of a cyclist in a race meant the brand of his bicycle triumphing over the rest, not only on the track but also in the commercial field, being achievements that were exploited for promotional pur- poses. The emerging motor world rapidly picked up on the bicycle’s example. 1. The (r)evolution of the tire For the first automobile manufacturers, car racing was not only the opportunity to test the limits of their vehicles’ performance, but also a primary form of promotion. Moreover, component manufacturers producing carburetors, batteries and spark plugs, shock absorbers and tires were careful to adequately equip the automobiles. Races constituted a true and uncompromising trial ground where brand com- petitors had to constantly test, evaluate and progressively incorporate improvements in technology, with the aim of not being surpassed by their rivals.

Jahrhunderts. Jedes Modell prägt seitdem die Automobilentwicklung seiner Epoche. Schon lange vor der offiziellen Bezeichnung S-Klasse bilden Fahrzeuge der Ober- und Luxusklasse den Schwerpunkt des Lieferprogramms der Stuttgarter Marke, die seit jeher in besonderem Maße für Luxus, Komfort und Sicherheit steht. Diese Traditionslinie folgt der Philosophie eines Automobils, das stets auch der Spiegel seiner Zeit ist. Denn Mercedes-Benz hat mit jeder Generation seiner Spitzenautomobile stets überzeugende Antworten auf die Wünsche und Anforderungen der jeweiligen Epoche gegeben. Eine S-Klasse und ihre Vorgängerbaureihen, so lässt sich die Bedeutung der Baureihenhistorie bis zum heutigen Tag zusammenfassen, ist stets der Inbegriff des Automobils. Überragend in der Summe aller Qualitäten Das Topmodell von Mercedes-Benz gilt dank innovativer Technik, höchstem Komfort und wegweisender Sicherheitssysteme in jeder Generation als Vorreiter für die Automobilentwicklung – und das branchenweit, denn viele Technikmerkmale, die Mercedes-Benz in der S-Klasse erstmals in einem Serienautomobil anbot, wurden in der Folge auch von anderen Automobilherstellern aufgegriffen.
