Saturday, November 3rd, 2012, Paul Russell and Company hosted an open house to celebrate the 1928 Mercedes-Benz Typ S Torpedo by Saoutchik of Paul and Judy Andrews that won Best in Show at this year\u2019s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.<\/p>\n

The occasion created an opportunity to do many things beyond admiring the Saoutchik-bodied Mercedes-Benz S. Visiting the Russell and Company shop \u2013 impeccably neat and famously orderly \u2013 with the expectation of seeing some spectacular cars was top of the list<\/p>\n

Russell didn\u2019t disappoint on that score. In fact they over-delivered, like Apple\u2019s revenue and earnings guidance, with an array of Pebble Beach quality cars. Ferrari 250 GT SWB Comp.\/60, a crusty and wrinkled Ferrari 375MM, a Ferrari 212 Vignale coupe in the body shop, bare as a baby\u2019s bottom, Bugatti Type 57S drophead, gorgeous Delahaye 135 MS Figoni & Falaschi drophead, and more.<\/p>\n

\u2018More\u2019 included a Lancia B20S Pinin Farina coupe on the lift exposing its rarely-seen underbelly and suspension, a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing freshly pulled from three decades semi-restored (in a barn three miles from my home) and a partly restored Cunningham C3 Vignale coupe \u2013 with a freshly-built electronic fuel injected aluminum Mopar Hemi motor on its stand ready to stand in for the original cast lump on tours and outings. 600hp in a Cunningham; oh Lordy!<\/p>\n

The occasion also had a greater purpose, raising money for the McPherson College Automobile Restoration Program, supported by the attendees and several generous sponsors. They were: Partners, the Andrews\u2019 Panther City Classic Autos, Mercedes-Benz and Jay Leno; Sponsors Hagerty Classic Car Insurance, BASF Glasurit paints and Gooding & Company; and Associate Sponsors Premier Financial Services, Intercity Lines, Michael Furman photographer and MMRSite.com. The event raised nearly $60,000, from over 200 avid auto enthusiasts, sponsors, and supporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to champion the Automotive Restoration Program at McPherson College, and to have Program graduates involved in a restoration project of this magnitude \u2013 an exquisite example of the \u201ccoachbuilt era\u201d motorcar,\u201d Paul Russell, a long-time Educational Advisory Board Member of the school, and event host said.<\/p>\n

Paul Russell outlined the detailed process of restoring the Saoutchik-bodied Mercedes-Benz, highlighting the work of the team responsible for its two-year transformation, the extensive research that went into re-creating its original appearance, and recognizing the contributions and introducing each of the Russell restorers who worked on it. It would take pages to recap his observations but it is sufficient simply to say that two years seems hardly long enough to accomplish what they did.<\/p>\n

On a beautiful fall Saturday many took advantage of the day to drive to Russell\u2019s in scenic Essex, Massachusetts in their own classic and collectible cars. The rest of us just enjoyed the drive and the day.<\/p>\n

It turned out to be especially significant for me when I noticed a photo of original owner of the Pebble Beach winning Mercedes-Benz among its history display. \u2018Frederick H. Bedford, Jr.\u2019 it said. My rusty synapses jogged. \u2018I know that name.\u2019 Then it fell into place. I had written this car\u2019s description for the Christie\u2019s Monterey Auction in 2006 when it was sold from Mr. Bedford\u2019s family ownership for the first time. It was like a reunion with an old friend \u2013 albeit in much better shape than when last we met \u2013 and the first time one of my auction description cars has captured the top place at Pebble Beach.<\/p>\n

It was a great afternoon among fine company, both mechanical and personal.<\/p>\n
