[rwmastel]

Multi-day MBCA event, but in the car show MBCA will have W113 as featured show class.

This is an interesting post. We have a multi-day Mercedes-Benz event with a date and location already set, that is featuring Pagodas next year.

And in another post on the forum, we are discussing where to host a potential PagodaFest 2025 event. Hmmmm

Well, John, it's like this...
For a variety of reasons, many don't want anything to do with the MBCA.

What happened with MBCA and how long ago did it happen?

[John Betsch - "SADIE"]

I have my opinions and feelings and would very much appreciate hearing some input.

 I am a long term member, but I will say that I feel MBCA seems to have a lost membership focus

Are new owners automatically given a years membership?  If so that could be the reason.  They don't need to put in an effort since they'll get new members regardless, even if only for a year.

No, new MB owners don’t get automatic membership in the MBCA. Discussions of such collaboration in various forms happened over the years but rarely did anything come of it. But I’m more than four years removed from the MBCA. So I don’t exactly what they are doing now.
