| |  | | | | | |  | | | | | | If you followed the Scottsdale auctions this past weekend, especially the Mercedes-Benz sales, the results afforded little surprise. The top 5 selling classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles alone sold for a total of $7,920,000. Arguably the most spectacular, yet not the most expensive result was a 1956 300 SL Coupe that went under the hammer for $1,897,500. Considering that this particular Gullwing was road-registered last in 1983 and stored away for three decades, a complete restoration is all but inevitable and it will be some time before this beauty will be back on the road.

Vanderbilt Jr. breaks the absolute world record for the flying mile at the four-day Ormond-Daytona Beach Automobile Tournament in Florida. At the helm of his 90 hp Mercedes, he sets a new absolute speed record at 92.3 mph. Considering this to be his proudest moment, he would later have the image of himself behind the wheel embossed on the 30-pound silver cup trophy for the inaugural Vanderbilt Cup race on October 8, 1904.
