1927 Mercedes-Benz Model K Wins Best in Show at Greenwich Concours
By Jeff Peek / Hagerty.com
Michael and Joannie Rich were looking for just the right car, and in the end, the right car found them. It proved to be a match made in concours heaven. The Pennsylvania couple’s one-off 1927 Mercedes-Benz Model K was chosen Best in Show at Sunday’s 25th Greenwich Concours d’Elegance, which returned to Roger Sherman Baldwin Park after a two-year hiatus.
“It came to us sort of by chance,” Michael says. “I was approached by somebody in the car world who said they had a neat car that I might be interested in. What really interested me was its Fleetwood body. Obviously, there are many coach builders, but it was from a place that’s only a half-hour down the road from us … a place I’d visited. I mean, the factory is still there. There’s a just a tremendous amount of history out of the Fleetwood factory. That’s what really attracted me to it—plus it’s the only one in existence.”
The car’s original owner, William Sloan of Rochester, New York, saw legendary Hollywood actor Rudolph Valentino’s Fleetwood-bodied Isotta Fraschini Roadster at the 1926 New York Auto Salon and fell in love with it. Except he wanted it on a Mercedes-Benz chassis. The car had been repainted in the decades that followed—Michael described it as “a pretty car with an ugly paint job”—and the Riches wanted to restore it back to how it looked when it rolled out of the Fleetwood factory. They entrusted the job to Steve Babinsky and Automotive Restorations in Lebabon, New Jersey.
“It was fun doing the restoration because we could visit it from time to time. I remember when it was down to a frame,” Joannie says. “We discussed the colors, and when we finally found the original color, we looked at each and said, ‘It’s interesting … not one I would pick.’ We sort of toyed back and forth about what we were going to do, and we decided if we were going to do it, we’d do it as it was.”
That proved to be a great decision. The Greenwich Concours d’Elegance is only its fourth public showing.
“The car world has a belief system, and the belief system is that certain cars are just super important, deserving of celebration and recognition,” says McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty, which owns the event. “The Mercedes-Benz Model K selected as best in show represents that greatness—one that the judges recognized following significant deliberation.”
The short-wheelbase (130 inches) Model K is powered by a 6.2-liter, switchable supercharged (kompressor) six-cylinder engine. From the right side of the bonnet/hood emerged three metal exhaust pipes merging at the lower edge to a single exhaust. This detail later became a hallmark of Mercedes-Benz supercharged cars.
“It’s a special car,” Joannie says. “I get so much enjoyment out of watching people’s reaction to it. They have so many questions. It’s been a lot of fun.”
Michael thanked his father “for getting me into this mess.”
“It’s a hobby,” Joannie jokingly corrected him.
“A mess, a hobby, organized chaos … I just wish he was here to see this.”
Something tells us he would be smiling.
OK so super jealous of my mate Steve's new toy. Original paint 1930 Ford Model A Hot Rod with a 350 Goodwrench Chevy engine, beautifully rebuilt chassis. Lucky bugger.

An open door at the Klokgebouw at Strijp-S, a small, simple location, but which forms a nice contrast in terms of color with Pauline's clothing.

A cool record that I keep looking at, her relaxed appearance, this photo has the right power.
Regardless of whether I work on location, I mainly look at the shadows instead of the light.
In this photo, I used a new lighting setup. I have placed two studio lamps on the right side, the first lamp, I have pointed straight up, placed high and equipped with a large umbrella, this provides a hair light, as for profile lighting, the second studio lamp, is at eye level from her and has the function as fill light.

The contrast between the bright gold tones at Arine compared to the beautiful dark brown tones in the background really appeals to me.
In this shoot I tried out my latest backdrop, in which certain color tones in the backdrop repeat themselves.
In the coming period I will look for more options.
But I'm at peace with this photo.
I wonder what she's thinking...
I have an 80 year old photographer as a mentor, and since the pool we were using was near his condo, he dropped in. Frank is a retired veteran of photography, so when he is on the scene, I like to get him to help. Frank's specialty was photographing women, and his nickname was Hef, so, well, he is quite at home working with a swimsuit model. I forgot to tell him that Page had some reservations about looking like she fell out of a Playboy magazine. So I thought she might be a bit hesitant when he was coaching her in cleavage enhancing poses like this one. But the professional that Page is, she never wavered, and even looks like she is having some fun.
She's probably thinking - "My boyfriend's really going to like this."
