Hermann Lang Laps the 'Ring, Graham Hill Narrates

1962 film showing onboard footage (starting at 2:50) of Hermann Lang lapping the 'Ring in his Mercedes W125. In color, no less! Graham Hill gives a corner by corner commentary. It's very cool to see the lush, wooded circuit as it was before barriers and kerbs were added.

Automobiliac at the Deutsche Classic!

Longtime readers know we love our Italian cars over here at Automobiliac, but vintage German machinery can also be ever so cool. There was plenty of it on display at this weekend's Deutsche Classic German car show in Fleetwood, PA.  The weather was fantastic and the drive out from the city was about 2 hours of rolling countryside.  The show was roughly evenly divided between classic BMW, Porsche, Mercedes and VW, with a smattering of Opel GTs and other unique vehicles for good measure.In addition to the beautiful cars on display, there was a small swap meet area with vendors selling all manner of replacement parts for German cars.  My personal highlights of the day were a pristine BMW 3.0 CS (The owner seemed less than interested when I told him his car was my favorite at the show...) and a really cool Porsche RSK.  There was also a gorgeous Mercedes 300SL gullwing in attendance, and Herbie the Love Bug also made an appearance. Click any of the photos to see my entire gallery of the swap meet and car show!

Saw this magestic 250C parked on a leafy street in Clinton Hill. Very cool.
