## Story
For classic Mercedes-Benz owners, access to parts means the difference between a rusting vehicle under a tarp and a gleaming vintage machine cruising down a roadway. Without parts, these extraordinary vehicles are consigned to history.MBZ Parts is transforming the classic Mercedes-Benz parts industry. Fueled by our custom digital catalog, $2M worth of parts, and years of hands-on experience with classic Mercedes vehicles, we’re pushing closer to our goal to be #1 in our niche in the US. Our customers come from all over the world, from all walks of life, from every generation. One thing that binds them together is their love for their classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles and their passion for restoring them. Many of our customers plan to hand their classic models down to future generations; others have inherited their cars from loved ones, cars that are imbued with tremendous emotional significance.At MBZ Parts, our easy-to-use website, our huge inventory, and our exceptional customer service backed by unparalleled product knowledge ensures that our customers can continue restoring their treasured vehicles for decades to come.The classic Mercedes-Benz parts industry has, prior to the founding of MBZ Parts, been a fragmented field that struggled to keep up with 21st-century technology. Many parts purveyors specialize in certain models, or they only provide parts for a few model years. And without a functional eCommerce site, even those limited parts inventories were inaccessible to all but local customers. With our website providing access to parts from all vintage Mercedes-Benz models from the ’50s through the early ’90s, MBZ Parts makes it easy for owners to continue restoring their vehicles. And those owners are committed to keeping their vehicles in cruising condition. Global annual sales of classic Mercedes parts top $800 million.Our business is growing rapidly, and we expect it to explode in the coming months. Our inventory is vast, we have a large and passionate customer base, and our team has a deep knowledge and understanding. But our secret sauce – what really sets us apart from every competitor – is our modern, easy-to-use eCommerce site, powered by our custom digital catalog.While others in our industry struggle to embrace technology, we have leaped ahead, providing customers with an unparalleled online shopping experience. Our WeFunder campaign will help us put the finishing touches on our site as well as support an expansion of our digital and physical infrastructure.Every member of our leadership team is a car lover and has an intense appreciation for the engineering and aesthetic behind classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This appreciation has only deepened through our experience with the individual parts themselves, as the elegance and quality are apparent in every detail. We’ve dedicated ourselves to making sure that these cars can be preserved and appreciated for decades to come.

   - David, great questions, thank you! Please accept my apologies for the delayed reply, there are some issues with the site.

## Q&A
- Q: What is the Corporation's share structure. There is a class of shares owned by Sheila that have 100% of the voting rights. I understand that the fund raising is for preferred shares at $3.50 a share. How many shares are you planning to sell at this time and is this the full number of preferred shares to be issued? Are there any other classes of shares? What shares or rights do the previous major shareholders have?Thanks for the feedback. David

Differences between the two types of shares are a bit complex, but generally favor the preferred shares. I will upload the Articles of Incorporation to the campaign so you can read about them yourself. Your statement about voting rights is not correct--all share types have voting rights. Investments made through Wefunder will be grouped into a SPV with the lead investor representing all investors. We actually chose our lead investor to be someone who we think will do a great job representing everyone.
