I have a college classmate, (Royce Rumsey), who does photo shoots for Mercedes-Benz. His website has some amazing automobile photos that I think you would like to see! Take a few minutes to look around. Here are a few Pagoda shots. Enjoy!

That's a pretty cool Colorado E9 with the painted Alpina-type wheels: https://roycer924.exposure.co/nbsppropellered-pairing However, Mr. Bracq did not work on that car. He did pen the E24, though, which I wish entered production a bit closer to his drawings... it had a very interesting T-top. Anyway, he didn't start work for BMW until 1970, and the E9 came out in '68, with its mostly-the-same older brother the New Class Coupe debuting in 1965.

Glorious, and everything the 190SL could've been... should've been... at least we have a few Rennsport 190s. All show and no go, though! If only the pagoda had a more sculpted chin, like the 190 or yon Porsche, then the bumperless look would work so well... oh, well, what do you know! https://roycer924.exposure.co/vintage-17mi-drive Very nice.
The Strawberry Red 300SL way down is one of my favorite colors, like the color produced when taking an old kodachrome photo of one of Frank Lloyd Wright's "cherokee red" cars, which were much more matte in person.

Really well done.

I remember Royce being the staff photographer on a two day drive out west in the experimental Mercedes C111 some years back. The bright orange, C111 is a car few of us will ever see in person, let alone, ride in one for two days! I think the photos were in The Mercedes Star magazine back then. Tough job I guess! The C111 was inspiration for the DeLorean's body design to follow in later years. Both with gull wing doors, the DeLorean copied the body styling almost exactly. The engineering in the C111 was superior but was never produced. Mercedes used it to test and set some world record milestones, as I recall back then.

Not your average "cars and coffee". A W113 first at finish line.

I have been to this place - in fact Cees also joined once. They hold a cars & coffee many weekends and about 150-200 cars show up - most park outside. Occasionally they will have a Benz day or a Porsche day. We went on a Benz day.

Nice display for sure!

the bumper delete on the first Gullwing actually looks better than with bumper.
