Christopher Chin

Ever since picking up his first MicroMachine, Chris Chin knew automobiles were his greatest passion. Since his first car, a 1994 Mercedes-Benz W124 E320 Coupe and later, a 1975 W116 280S, Chris taught himself everything he knows about automobiles and later learned of his obsession for classic Silver Arrows. He's currently giving love to a 1974 450SEL.

From learning how to wrench on them, to being the stereotypical “walking car encyclopedia,” Chris later figured out he could indulge in his passions through writing and photography, eventually earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism & Media Studies at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. Aside from being a contributor to MB World, his efforts led him to manage several automotive news sites such as TheTruthAboutCars, AutoBlog, FastLaneDaily and DigitalTrend's Car section while producing for sites like Hagerty. He currently maintains a column at Automobile Magazine and TheDrive. Chris hopes to further indulge in his passion for old Mercedes-Benzes with one of his life-long favorite communities.
