2019 Legends of the Autobahn

Friday, August 16th

Pasadera Golf Club, Monterey

Legends of the Autobahn, the all-German Concours, returns to Monterey Car Week on August 16^th. San Francisco Bay Area section members are invited to display a Mercedes-Benz at this must-see event! For 2019, the Mercedes-Benz Club of America celebrates 30 years of the R129 models and 125 years of Mercedes-Benz motorsports.

Legends of the Autobahn will this year welcome RADwood—the car show that blends period correct dress with automotive awesomeness. RADwood will bring its unique style and host a large corral at Legend’s that is open to all European cars and bikes from 1980-1999 that capture the essence of a bodacious era.

SF Bay Area Section Corral: A display corral has been added for SF Bay Area Section members! To sign up, select Display Corral, and then the SF Bay Section Corral during registration. As with previous events, Legends of the Autobahn event also features a judged Concours and a Silver Star Preservation class.
