Your Club

Mike Regennitter, Executive Director

Setting the Bar High

The Star magazine is arguably one of the most cherished benefits our club offers. And there is a reason why. The Star consistently ranks in the top tier of automotive magazines. The Star magazine received a total of 14 awards at the Automotive Heritage Awards ceremony during the Concours d’Elegance of America at St. John, continuing a string of nine award-winning years.

Congratulations to all the talented authors, contributing editors, and photographers for winning such prestigious awards. Without them, we wouldn’t have a prized magazine that members are eager to receive and read from cover to cover.

A shout-out to our editor, Gary Anderson, for his very well-done job leading and managing the editorial and production. Also, to Jason Burton, Richard Simonds, Daniel Stahl, Laura Simonds and Pierre Hedary, “Thank you.” These volunteer members invest a tremendous amount of time and attention into each issue.

If you have ideas for articles in The Star or would like to volunteer to help with the production, email [email protected].

Our corporate supporters

The Star strives to find exceptional products and services that club members will value. Another huge “Thank you” to Michael Kunz and Constantin von Kageneck at Mercedes-Benz Classic Center, and Tim Garner of Airstream, two key partners that help the Mercedes-Benz Club of America provide members with valued benefits. These partnerships have been instrumental in helping us attract and support members.
