All about our beneficiary – LivingWell Cancer Resource Center

LivingWell Cancer Resource Center, part of Northwestern Medicine, is a not-for-profit organization providing programs and services to cancer patients and their families.

LivingWell focuses on: • Revitalizing the mind, body and spirit • Caring for the individual needs of those living with cancer • Transforming fear of the unknown into a sense of empowerment

• Providing a wealth of current information in a variety of forms • Providing our resources with dignity, integrity, and professionalism It began with a need to instill knowledge, optimism, and inspiration, helping people to work toward lifelong wellness.

8/13/18 3:14 PM

High-performance ‘letter series’ 1960 Chrysler 300f From 1955 to 1965, Chrysler released its line of 300 “letter series” as high-performance, personal luxury cars. The first year of the series, 1955, was designated C-300, followed by the 300B in 1956. Each year following that, the designation was the next letter of the alphabet (skipping the letter “I”), until the final version, 1965’s 300L. The entire series was built with a focus on performance, and the 1960 Chrysler 300f, which will be on display at the Geneva Concours event, is a great example of the best the series had to offer. The 413 cubic inch Wedge engine delivered 375 horsepower, and to boost power at lower and mid rpms, a special intake manifold was designed.

8/13/18 3:14 PM

The 1960 300F featured re-imagined bodywork, using Chrysler’s lightweight unibody construction with a design that showcased a sharp-edged style with outward-tilting fins. The interior featured four individual, leather bucket seats with a full-length console that stretched from the dashboard to the rear seatback. The car was also famous for its swiveling front seats, which were fitted as standard equipment that year.

See this show-stopper in person as part of the show.

Mercedes Benz ‘SL’ series This iconic series of performance icons will be part of the featured display during the Geneva Concours event.

The Mercedes-Benz SL series of cars came from the German “Sportlich-Leicht,” which translates to “Sport Lightweight”.

1960 300sl The first auto to receive the SL designation was the 300sl. It was the fastest production car at that time, and was originally introduced in 1954 as a two-seater with what became the distinctive gull-wing doors. By 1957, the car was offered as an open roadster, and the line became an icon of its time, featuring the first-ever production fuel injection and the world’s fastest top speed at that time.

1963 230sl The 230sl followed and featured a new design with a 2.3-litre fuel injected six-cylinder engine. It featured large, curved greenhouse windows and the Coupe Roadster variant included a detachable hardtop.

12 • GENEVA CONCOURS d’Elegance • August 26, 2018 Geneva Concours 8.23.18.indd 12

8/13/18 3:15 PM

1971 280sl Several years after the rollout of the 230sl, the engine received two displacement increases, first to the 250sl in the late 1960s, and then again right at the end of the decade with the model 280sl, which can be seen as part of the Geneva Concours event. The 280sl production years ran from 1967-1971, and the featured auto at the event showcases the final year of that design.

1974 450sl In what is now considered the third generation of the line, the 1974 450sl — which you can see in person at the Geneva Concours

event — featured a larger 4.5L V8 engine, and used the Bosch D Jetronic fuel injection system, which was an early electronic engine management system.

This entire lineup of Mercedes-Benz classics is sure to wow the crowd.
