Automotive: Reading Log
Adams, B.A., Mercedes-Benz Club of America Fifty Years of History 1956-2006. Nashville, Tenn: Turner Publishing Company, 2007; page 4-107 (103 pages read).
If there is any car that has a rich history in as far as progressive look is concerned, it has to be Daimler’s Mercedes Benz. Like Bentley, Mercedes Benz also remains one of my all-time favorite automobiles. From the onset, it is important to note that the first thing that jumped at me when I started reading the text was that the author is more of a story teller. This is more so the case given that this does not feel like a technical book despite the incorporation of diverse details about the make and build of various models over the last 50 years, as well as the inclusion of sections on the chief officers of the firm and its affiliates and clubs over the said 5 decades.
It is, however, important to note that there are some inclusions in the sections that I read that appear overly detailed. This is more so the case with regard to those persons who have served the firm, its affiliates, or clubs in various capacities. In my opinion, a person who purchases this particular book would be more interested in the history of this particular car in the U.S., as opposed to where a person who served as Mercedes Benz USA CEO in a certain year schooled or grew up in. In my opinion, this is a must read for every Mercedes Benz enthusiast. Like is the case with many other books on automobiles, the present text also has numerous illustrations. While most of the said illustrations, specifically in the sections that I concerned myself with, were informative, others were largely unnecessary (i.e. those of persons who have served Mercedes Benz’s interests at some point posing with their families). In the final analysis, this was a rather informative and refreshing read.
