Mercedes-Benz Classic Center to open in February
German automaker Mercedez-Benz is set to open an Irvine, California facility that will offer
resources, sales, restoration, and search services for buyers interested in “classic” Mercedes-Benz
vehicles (defined as models twenty years or older).
Peter Spieth, the center's general manager:
"Southern
California with its high concentration of classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles, unlimited driving season and great
appreciation for classic cars as a lifestyle statement is the perfect environment to establish our specialized client
support service for the growing number of Mercedes-Benz classic car owners. We’ve spent quite some time making
plans to open this industry-leading facility here. We’re highly gratified to see it happening and look forward to
opening our doors to the public."
Parts for every Mercedes-Benz vehicle built from 1945 on
will be available. Visitors can also check out the center's boutique for accessories, memorabilia, and books.

This is such good business on so many different levels, the two main ones is that it's a great service to the consumer and it will benefit Mercedes greatly.
Let's hope other manufacturers will support the love that has grown for their cars as well.

Definitely a smart move, also regarding the choice of the location. I'm sure SoCal really is the best place to open something like this.
