37435- It's not just a number, you know. It's a patent number. And not just any patent number (Lord knows there are too many of those tossed around by auto makers in their efforts to convince you, the prospective buyer, that they are on the true frontier of innovation.) No, patent # 37435 isn't for the first self-retracting cupholder, or the first ceramic-lined valve seat. It's the patent for the first car. And that car was a Benz. You probably didn't know that. You may not care. But we think about it everyday. About being first. About out-thinking, out-imagining everybody else. Because that's how we started. And that's how we succeed. This is a book about why you might want to own a Mercedes, and what the experience of owning one might be like. Think of it like a first date. You never know what may happen. But if sparks fly, who knows?
