Congratulations to our friend Dennis Nicotra as he makes drive-history being inducted into the National Historic Vehicle Association with his purchase of the first Mercedes-Benz Type 300 SL sold in America. It was never Mercedes- Benz’s intention to sell this model vehicle, but rather to showcase the brand’s design talents.

The 2014 Turbo S is the most advanced production 911 to date. With 560 hp, this all-wheel-drive, all-weather makes the way way ahead of its time 959 look like a 911E. It’s two seconds faster to 60 mph and vanquishes the 959 in every measure. If its $183,695 base price seems cheeky, consider 1987’s $225,000, 444-hp 959 in today’s dollars, which works our to $475,000.

Elvis Presley was not only the King of Rock and Roll, he was also one of the top car collectors in the world during his lifetime. His fever for the automobile started in the 1950’s after borrowing a ’51 Chevy from a friend. Elvis was drawn to being at the wheel, and as he began to amass a considerable fortune through his musical and theatrical career, he quickly began adding to his collection.
Making a list of the world’s most remarkable celebrity car collectors isn’t particularly easy, as there are numerous personalities who have a fondness for the automobile. However, some have truly set themselves apart when it comes to their collections. This includes Jay Leno, Patrick Dempsey, and more.
