Mercedes Classic celebrates Porsche Classic - really

• 

After the news about a possible and far-fetching collaborations between the big BMW and the mighty Mercedes-Benz (click here when you missed it) held the motoring world in captive for some time, a new trend under German motor manufacturers appears to have started.

We think so as only a week later Mercedes-Benz announced a news item that was hardly easier to believe. The heading: “Mercedes museum celebrates Porsche museum’s 10th anniversary”. A very early April’s Fool Day joke? It doesn’t seem to be so.

On the picture adjoining the article we saw the head of Mercedes-Benz Classic, with a Mercedes-Benz 190 SL and the head of the Porsche Museum and Historic public relations, with a Porsche 356. Both were smiling in front of the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart. We are still unsure whether this picture is real or a photoshopped image.

Mercedes did announce that free admission is being offered to Porsche employees from January 31-February 10, when a Porsche exhibition takes place in the Mercedes-Benz museum. “Good friends are always welcome”, the Mercedes museum added in its invitation. Since 2016, the two museums have collaborated with discounted admission rates for those visiting both facilities. This seems a new step, though, which leaves us stumbled to this day.
