1961 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Coupe

1961 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Coupe

The photo below shows a 1961 Mercedes-Benz 280SE open-air Coupe (W111). It is fascinating to contextualize this image by considering that JFK was the president when this photo was taken.

The photo below shows the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe, which is the great-grandson of the 280SE.

...Mercedes-Benz Quote Of The Day...

...Mercedes-Benz Quote Of The Day...

"There are a number of mechanical devices that increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL convertible." –P.J. O'Rourke

The Mercedes-Benz quote above from P.J. O'Rourke is fascinating. The Mercedes-Benz Magazine ad seen below which features a 380SL is from 1980.

About Jake's Mercedes World

It was a long time coming, but now seems like it was always inevitable. I have been blogging about Mercedes Benz for years on Jake's Car World, as well as on Jake's Rolex World, and many times I thought it might be interesting to start Jake's Mercedes World.

On February 14, 2014 I finally launched Jake's Mercedes World, and I began with content I had already published on my other online magazines.

There were two key reasons I decided to launch Jake's Mercedes World. First is because Mercedes-Benz history is second to none in the automobile industry. Mercedes-Benz cars are not only the most timeless in history, but no other brand has stuck to its iconic model lineup like Mercedes. Secondly, Mercedes has been on-fire with new model introductions over the past few years. As strange as it may sound, I would argue that Mercedes today, has reached all-new levels of performance and design that once again have changed the game, and now more than ever, Mercedes is without pier.

Also, in my mind Mercedes-Benz is the Rolex of cars. In other words, it is remarkable how much Mercedes and Rolex have in common. Rolex was founded in 1905, and Mercedes-Benz was really began in 1886 with Karl Benz's Benz Patent Motorwagen, which is widely regarded as being the first automobile.

I hope you enjoy Jake's Mercedes World. As Mercedes slogan says, "The Best Or Nothing."

Cheers!!!
