Mercedes-Benz goes larger than life at Detroit
Mercedes-Benz has trumped it’s competitors at this year’s North American International Motor Show, by putting up a 21-story outdoor poster on the old Pontchartrain Hotel opposite the show’s Cobo Centre venue.
Not only does it show off their superb looking SLS Gulwing-door sports car, but the caption “Oh Lord …” is from the song by Janis Joplin entitled, “Mercedes-Benz”.
