1st Annual Cinco de Benzo Show Recap

Over 200 classic and modern Mercedes-Benzes gathered near Long Beach, California for the 1st annual Cinco de Benzo event, organized by AMG SoCal Lounge and SoCal’s Finest.

The Mercedes-Benz Vehicle Preparation Center played host to some of the finest examples of the silver arrow, and MB corporate even brought out the all-new 2017 S-Class Cabriolet.

There was a flavor for everyone, from stock to heavily-modified, but the crowd favorites were definitely the vintage gullwing cars, followed closely by a 220 SE “fintail” saloon race car built by the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center.

The sense of community was strong as 300+ spectators engaged and traded stories with each other during this family-friendly event.
