“This 540K balances strength with sweeping lines and style, and its history is unique,” said Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “In talking with Jim about this car, I was impressed by the time and thought invested in this restoration. Every piece of this beautiful Mercedes-Benz was researched so carefully to honor its history.”
“In Kentucky, you know, we talk about winning the Derby. Well, there’s such a thing as winning the Triple Crown,” said Jim Patterson. “And so I’ve won this Concours twice before today. This is a Triple Crown for me.”
The Mercedes 540K’s win at the 72nd Pebble Beach Concourse d’Elegance wrapped up the Monterey Car Week. The week-long car event in California was also graced by other Silver Arrows-branded cars including the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT and a lineup of EQS models.
