STAUNTON, Va. Michael Berger, owner of Newport Auto Center in Wilmington, Del., found the car of his dreams at the Mecum Kissimmee Auction in Kissimmee, Fla.
Berger was the grand prize winner of the Federated Auto Parts-Standard brand Oxygen Sensors “Dream Car Sweepstakes.” He received an all-expenses-paid trip for two to the Florida auction, plus $15,000 to spend on the car of his dreams: a 1992 Mercedes SL500. “With so many classic and muscle cars on display, it must have been pretty tough to narrow it down to one car,” said Rusty Bishop, CEO of Federated Auto Parts.
Bishop and Bill Collins of Standard Motor Products were on hand at the Mecum Kissimmee auction which was held Jan. 28-31 and was broadcast live during Mecum’s popular television series, “Mecum Auto Auction: Muscle Cars & More.”
