Take a tour across Cape Town, South Africa in a Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG. You don’t need a passport to experience the breathtaking beauty and views of the city…you may even feel a gentle breeze through your hair.
Create your own memorable experiences in the Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG, available at Park Place Motorcars.
The video was created by Jonas Ginter, a German journalist and videographer, to celebrate Mercedes-Benz’s 18-million Facebook fans.
An innocent bystander caught in a police shoot-out in Lewisville, Erica Montes was lucky to get out alive; her Honda CR-V however, sustained a lot of damage. Adding insult to injury, her claim for repairs was denied.
After several months of back-and-forth with the insurance company, Ms. Montes came to terms with her SUV being riddled with bullet holes.
What she didn’t know is that her story caught the attention of Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth- General Manager, George Johnson, and things were about to get a lot better.
Mr. Johnson reached out to the manager of Park Place BodyWerks Fort Worth, David Norris, who invited Erica to stop by the body shop for the necessary repairs; oh and those repairs…they’re on the house.
Having been through so much, Montes was thrilled with the offer and knowing that her car will be restored.
In 2-weeks, Park Place BodyWerks fixed the damage from the shoot-out, but that’s not all they did.
Having taken panels and bumpers off, the body shop technicians noticed several other bumps and bruises on the CR-V that needed to be fixed or tended to. They fixed and replaced a laundry-list of small items that made a big difference. The icing on the cake- a complete detail and a full tank of gas; also compliments of Park Place BodyWerks.
When Erica came to pick-up her CR-V, it was unrecognizable.
It was no longer the dull silver SUV with rusty bullet holes she dropped off just 2-weeks ago, it was whole again and shiny.
There was more than a car restored that day. Montes’ smile was back on her face and that put a smile on ours!
An experience to last a lifetime and a permanent grin to prove it.
Park Place teamed up with the Make-A-Wish foundation to make 7-year-old Michael Hollis’ dream come true.
His dream…worth nearly $3 MILLION!
The young boy, battling leukemia, is a fan of fast cars and auto-racing video games.
Naturally, he wanted to experience a Bugatti Veyron for himself.
Michael, along with his mom and dad flew in from San Antonio for the big surprise, arranged by Park Place Premier Collection, Make-A-Wish and Bugatti.
They pulled up for Michael’s big surprise in a white stretch-limo.
Michael had no idea what was in store for him till he saw his dream car…a black and blue Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse…with a Bugatti factory driver.
The driver wasn’t just any driver, it was Butch Leitzinger- a race car driver who won the famed Rolex 24 at Daytona three times.
Michael- stunned and excited, climbed into the Bugatti, taking it all in while Butch explained what each button does and how the super car, packing 1200 horsepower- taking it from 0-60 in under 3 seconds, works.
After a thorough overview and Michael’s Bugatti hat on, the duo was off for the ride of a lifetime.
Although the car tops out at 255 mph, Leitzinger didn’t go quite that fast.
Michael, taking it all in during the ride was all smiles, waved to cars as they passed.
After the ride, Michael and his family got a personal tour of the Park Place Premier Collection- checking out Rolls Royces, Bentleys and other awe-inspiring luxury vehicles.
Bugatti and Park Place didn’t let Michael leave empty handed. He received quite the swag bag full of goodies from Bugatti to ensure he’ll have plenty to remind him of his experience of a lifetime.
Check out the full Park Place Premier Collection and Park Place Bugatti.

Park Place Motorcars Dallas recently joined Community Partners of Dallas for a special event to celebrate the organization’s 25th anniversary. Community Partners of Dallas organized the “A Wagon Holds a Promise” parade in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest parade of toy red wagons. The parade was a success, and they broke the record with 288 wagons. The previous record holder, the St. Georges Lions Club of Utah, originally broke the record with 250 red wagons in 2003.
A red Mercedes-Benz convertible was donated by Park Place Motorcars Dallas to lead the parade, held on January 31st at Central Square Park. Over 467 people followed behind, pulling red wagons to not only break a world record, but in support of the abused children that Community Partners of Dallas aims to serve.
Food and drinks were provided by Ruthie’s Rolling Café, and participants enjoyed a post-parade birthday cake at the Community Partners offices.
