Today (August 15), the Mercedes-Benz Club of America (MBCA), together with BMW Car Club of America (BMW CCA) and Audi Club North America will team up to co-host a historic event. The three luxury car clubs will be facilitating the 5th Annual Legends of the Autobahn.

The event also co-sponsored by Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and other prominent brands, will be held at the grounds of Nicklaus Club Monterey in California starting from 8 AM to 3 PM. The on-site registration starts as early as 6:30 AM, but it should be noted that there was also an online registration held on July 27 up to yesterday. Admission is free for spectators, but there will be a parking fee worth $20 for those who will be bringing in their rides.

The festival will only last a day, and it will showcase the best that German automotive engineering can offer. The featured Mercedes cars are the Type 18/100 model driven by Max Salier in the 1914 Grand Prix, plus the 1978 450 SLC of Rich and Mary Nohr.
