Classic Vintage Antique Collector Cadillac/Mercedes-Benz and Others

JIM HAILEY’S CLASSIC CAR COLLECTION

Below are pictures of our current collector automobiles as well as some of the past cars we have owned and/or restored. My grandfather and father were into cars so I naturally progressed into what you see below.
I love all type of cars and brands.  To me they are all a new experience and learning curve.  I grew up desiring traditional American luxury but I gravitated toward performance.  
You can reach me at the email following this paragraph or text me.  Please scroll down mightily for some of the past cars; current cars are typically shown in chronological order.

The C140 coupés were really the product of a 1980s arms race between BMW and Mercedes. Work on the design began in the mid-’80s, with a supposed release date of 1987.  This generation of S-Class is alleged to have cost $1billion in development; the production delays are said to have cost DBAG’s chief engineer his job. Some 45lbs lighter and 3.8 inches shorter than the four-door S-Class, the C140 coupés made their debut at the Detroit Auto Show in 1992. The choice of an American show to launch the C140 reflects that nation’s appetite for big, luxurious two-door cars (look how big our cars and trucks are now).  The 600, with its proud ‘V12’ C pillar badges, was significant in that it was Mercedes’ first production 12-cylinder model in DBAG’s history.   It was also the fastest four-seater production car in the world at the time; with its 48-valve, four-camshaft (with adjustable inlet technology) engine.  Originally rated at 408 hp it was detuned to 394 to pass emissions.  It was the first Benz with side air bags.
