MERCEDES-BENZ'S WILL NO LONGER BE HOME
TO C-CLASS PRODUCTION IN THE US
Mercedes-Benz's parent automaker, Daimler, said the US will no longer be home
to C-Class production on Friday. As the automaker looks to cut losses, the sedan
will exit production at the automaker's assembly plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Instead, the US plant will exclusively build SUVs for Mercedes-Benz. A Daimler
spokesperson confirmed the decision with Roadshow and added, "A major factor
behind this measure is that the Tuscaloosa plant is preparing to integrate the
upcoming electric SUV models from the EQ product and technology brand into its
operations. This will require certain construction projects."
The C-Class will continue production in Germany, South Africa and China going
forward.

2020 Ability Connection Colorado Concourse D'elegance
Due to the Coronavirus, the 2020 Ability Connection Colorado Concourse
D'elegance, This event is still To Be Determined per the web site.
DATE: Sunday, September ????
TIME: 9am to 3pm
LOCATION: Arapahoe Community College 5900
S. Santa Fe Dr, Littleton
This year's Annual Colorado Concours d’ Elegance and Exotic Sports Car Show—one of the premiere car shows in the Rocky Mountain Region is June 14th 2020.
The Colorado Concours is an annual event showcasing nearly 500 rare sports and classic cars, early collectibles and the latest exotics provided by local and regional car clubs. Many of these cars venture out only once a year to help Colorado children. These prestigious beauties are treasures that few people ever get to experience. This family-oriented event draws more than 14,000 participants/attendees and features delicious food, live music, exhibitors, vendors, and fun for everyone! Proceeds from this spectacular event go to Ability Connection Colorado’s Creative Options for Early Childhood Education Centers. https://www.abilityconnectioncolorado.org/specialevents/colorado-concourse.
Please make plans now to attend this event and show your favorite Mercedes. You can bring a new car or an older classic. There is always a good turnout by the other Marques, such as Jaguar, MG, Porsche and many others and we need to make an effort to show others our wonderful cars.
If you are bringing a car that is older than 1992, you are eligible to enter the Mercedes Preservation Class Award. You car needs to be mostly original - no total restorations, but can have been maintained with original parts over the years. Repaints in correct color do not count against you.
Itreally quite easy to qualify. It would be great to see our members bring out their older cars that most
Please contact Robert Unfug [email protected] if you have any questions or if you plan on
attending. Be sure to register your car separately on the Concourse website. Some of us have
probably never seen to this show.
