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.
Looking across to the village of Bamford, with Bamford edge on the left.....From the lower slopes of Win hill.
Oh it's on, the Blue Jays won't know what hit 'em! Four game sweep with the Mariners averaging 12 runs a game while pitching four straight perfect games, Vlad Jr. won't know what side of the plate to stand on, or, the opposite could happen. :)
The Seattle Mariners have never been to the world series in their entire existence and we fans are at the point, do we dare hope? Just once dear Lord, before I die, can we win it all?....
take a look around in here and feel the pain, anguish, hope, NEED...... For the record we lost this playoff game in 18 innings one to nil sending us home, once again, crushed.
St. Albans Spring Festival. I was asking myself who would want to win this? But who I am to make judgments in matters of taste? Leica M8, Voigtlander AS 2.8/90.

An earth cellar in Austrian viticulture is a traditional, often underground or semi-above-ground storage room, which creates a natural, stable climate for wine storage and maturation due to its construction in the ground
. These cellars are typical of the Austrian cultural landscape, especially in the cellar alleys

Recently I was lucky enough to win a place on a street photography course with Amateur Photographer magazine. My first ever photography "lesson", and I really enjoyed it. So much so I bought a new camera...! Expect to see more from my new Fuji X-T10 in due course. I'll still be using the Panasonic LUMIX compact too.
