  • 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.

  • Racing Events As a Tool for Tire Promotion
    CHAPTER 16 suggested citation: Medrano-Bigas, Pau. The Forgotten Years of Bibendum. 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.

With its electric drive system based on View photo gallery highly advanced Mercedes-Benz fuel cell technology, the F 125! ensures particularly satisfying and sustained driving pleasure. The electric power for the motors is generated on board by a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, or obtained from the efficient recuperation of braking energy. The only emission resulting from the chemical reaction is pure water vapour. Total operating range is at the same level as a modern diesel car. The high performance potential of the electric drive components in the F 125! once again demonstrate the versatility of the highly scalable, modular E-Drive system from Mercedes-Benz.
