  "account": "The Mercedes Classic Center in Fellbach has almost doubled its workshop space to nearly 10,000 square meters following recent renovations. The center, which includes a showroom, covers a total of around 18,000 square meters. It houses facilities for part sales, customer vehicle exhibitions, and restoration, repair, and maintenance of vehicles. Marcus Breitschwerdt, the CEO of Mercedes-Benz Heritage GmbH, states that the center caters to all needs in working with historic automobiles. It also provides access to the company's archive, containing technical data and delivery information for nearly every Mercedes-Benz that was ever built. Breitschwerdt calls the Classic Center the \"world's largest restoration and workshop operation for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.\" All necessary trades are consolidated under one roof, including bodywork, painting, engine building and repair, hydraulics, electricity and electronics, service, restoration, motorsports, metalworking, upholstery, and carpentry. Alongside this, there is a paint booth and an engine test stand. The workshop houses well-preserved classic cars alongside heavily rusted oldtimers, maintained 600 sedan limousines alongside a largely disassembled test vehicle C 111. Numerous SL Roadsters and Coupés await maintenance or restoration, an SLR McLaren is inspected.",
  "summary": "Klassische Fahrzeuge sind mehr als die Vergangenheit einer Marke, sie sind auch eine wichtige Einnahmequelle. Mercedes hat sein Classic Center bei Stuttgart deshalb deutlich vergrößert.",
