C’etait un Redezvous

C’etait un Redezvous

September 19, 2010

A good quote from John Dillinger in Pubic Enemies: “I like baseball, movies, good clothes, fast cars, whiskey, and you… what else you need to know?” I’ve got 2 of those 6 for you right here: The famous 9-minute movie C’etait un Redezvous is back online. For those not familiar here’s the long story short: [...]

BMW “Unscripted”

BMW “Unscripted”

September 13, 2010

A while back I saw all these Chevy “ads” based on their old products and image. For a company that now makes the HHR, I wasn’t quite sure that reminding everyone how cool you used to be was really the best sales tactic, but it was interesting. Later I came across this Mercedes ad which [...]

February 15, 2009

I’m sure you all saw the Audi commercial “The Chase” during the Super Bowl a few weeks ago. Not only was it fun to watch, cramming the iconic styles of each decade into thirty seconds, but it was also very cool to see Audi give a nod (underhanded as it may have been) to Mercedes [...]

Mercedes-Benz Design History

Mercedes-Benz Design History

December 23, 2008

Keeping on the subject of the world’s first, and baddest, automaker… a few weeks ago Selectism posted this short and sweet summary of Mercedes-Benz design history from Wallpaper* by Jonathan Bell. The article is great but the photos are even better. Excerpt: “Mercedes’ key reputation rests on its saloon cars, traditionally deemed to hide over-engineered [...]
