There is an old\u00a0saying that goes\u00a0\u201cIt is hard to appreciate the\u00a0road in front of you\u00a0if you go through life with your back to the engine.\u201d\u00a0 While there is a lot of truth in this saying, and while\u00a0I am sympathetic to the need to not over-romanticise the pastor live in some vintage nostalgic haze, there is also a great deal of truth to the saying \u201cThey just don\u2019t make\u2019em like they used to.\u201d\u00a0 There is something about a quality vintage vehicle that simply cannot be matched by anything in the present.\u00a0 The key here though is quality, and when I say quality, I mean Mercedes-Benz .\u00a0 This is why I love the\u00a0Mercedes-Benz Classics division.<\/p>\n

Based out of Irvine California, this little known wing of the German auto maker exists for the classic automobile enthusiast.\u00a0 The classics division covers all of the bases, wether one would\u00a0need a hard to find part, a daily driver, or a fully restored collector show car.\u00a0 Keep in mind, this is not an aftermarket company, these are official Mercedes-Benz technicians whose job it is to restore\u00a0Mercedes-Benzs to\u00a0their \u201cfactory settings\u201d, so it will be like new, as if you are viewing it on the lot, fresh from the assembly line.<\/p>\n

So, in a way, if you were to find a refurbished vehicle from Mercedes-Benz classics, returned to a state no different than the day the final bolt was put into place, and you were to dress appropriately for the given year of the car, you can, in a way, time travel.\u00a0 Of course this is going by a very loose definition of time, but still, it sounds pretty great to us here at Vroom.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts can view and test drive any current production model Audi at any Phoenix Valley\u00a0Mercedes-Benz dealer.\u00a0 Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts should plan on attending the Phoenix Arizona International Auto Show to learn about the most recent concepts and innovations from Mercedes-Benz , as well as the rest of the auto industry, taking place at the Phoenix Arizona Convention center over Thanksgiving weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is an old\u00a0saying that goes\u00a0\u201cIt is hard to appreciate the\u00a0road in front of you\u00a0if you go through…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1926,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[12],"class_list":["post-1925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-auto-news","tag-featured","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\nMercedes-Benz Classics Makes Time Travel Real<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Mercedes Benz Classics Vintage Restoration Antique Irvine Collector Show Car Company Scottsdale Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/mercedes-benz-classics-makes-time-travel-real\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mercedes-Benz Classics Makes Time Travel Real\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Mercedes Benz Classics Vintage Restoration Antique Irvine Collector Show Car Company Scottsdale Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/mercedes-benz-classics-makes-time-travel-real\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Arizona Auto News -
