Art comes across as a fantastic interesting guy with great love and appreciating of all things Mercedes fantastic, superb to here Steve McQueen memories to boot
No frame damage after being hit at 55 or so mph and still be able to able to drive it home?! If I didn't already want a classic mercedes benz I reeeaaally want one now that's just absolutely amazing build quality
This was really great, Pierre and Art! I really enjoyed the little stories. I wish that I could drive along with you to Amelia Concours, except I'm on the "wrong" coast.
I am working with my daughter on driving and I always try out my happy face and offer lots FUN advice. Agree on the hobby and mistress, but she is still costly 😉 - 80-90 mph to work LoL now that is a serious commuter
I chuckled at the comment by Art about cars being the best mistress. A cop pulled me over for a alcohol test in my S430. I'd just finished polishing it when the cop remarked how shiny it was. My reply was...'It's my second wife...'
Art's mannerisms remind me of Hyman Roth from the Godfather, maybe we can call him the "Godfather of Classic Mercedes"? Yes, Steve McQueen definitely loved Mercedes-Benz. His 300SEL 6.3 was recently listed for sale in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Art is one of a kind. I was his secretary for a dozen years at his shop in West LA. Best job ever! Best boss ever. What an adventure!!!
I saw the video twice as it was so interesting !!!!!
glad it was so enjoyable!
Great job guys thank you 👍
Just met Art. He lives in same town as me!

Which car is that during the McQueen story? At 2:04 ?
280se 3.5 cabriolet
A 617 in an SEC? Wow!
surprisingly it works well
