										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arcade Cars will unveil its most exclusive vehicle yet, the dramatic open-top Mercedes-Benz 240 GD, at premier American collector car event, the Audrain Concours in October. The ultra-limited convertible is one of only 60-70 airdrop-ready military vehicles ever produced by Mercedes-Benz for the Singaporean Army. Following a highly successful Monterey Car Week, which generated significant collector interest, the 240 GD showcases Arcade’s restoration expertise.</p>
<p>Only 10 bespoke examples will be built in collaboration with individual clients, making it among the world&#8217;s most exclusive G-Wagens. Each vehicle retains its military features while incorporating personalized luxury features.</p>
<p>Arcade Cars will also be presenting their Mercedes-Benz Puch 230 GE at The Bridge, in Bridgehampton, NY. Arcade launched their 230 GE in 2024 at Pebble Beach, where they returned this August with a display in the Concours Village.</p>
<p><strong>Pebble Beach <br /></strong>Arcade Cars made a successful first appearance at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August 2024, where its military-heritage G-Wagens captured the attention of collectors and automotive enthusiasts alike. The Monterey showcase established Arcade as a serious contender in the high-end restoration market and reinforced the brand’s reputation for producing authentic military-spec vehicles that combine rugged capability with luxury enhancements. Arcade Cars returned to Pebble Beach in August 2025 showcasing further diversity in their vehicle portfolio.</p>
<p><strong>The Bridge debut<br /></strong>On Saturday, September 13th, Arcade Cars joins the exclusive line-up at The Bridge, marking a significant milestone in the company’s entry into the East Coast collector market. Held on the grounds of the historic Bridgehampton racing circuit overlooking Sag Harbor, a site synonymous with America’s rich motorsport legacy, the invitation-only gathering presents a curated collection of the continent’s finest post-war vehicles.</p>
<p>“Beyond being a world-class event, The Bridge allows us to connect with a market that truly appreciates both the elegance and versatility of our vehicles,” said Arcade founder Rishav Kanoria. “An Arcade G-Wagen is designed for family adventures. It combines striking design with the capability to handle everything from dunes to everyday journeys, all while providing uncompromising comfort for its passengers.”</p>
<p><strong>A first for Newport</strong><br />Arcade will serve as a Bespoke Sponsor of Newport&#8217;s Audrain Motor Week, where their Pacific Blue open-top Mercedes-Benz 240 GD makes its formal debut along with an Arcade Racing Green Mercedes-Benz Puch 230 GE at Doris Duke&#8217;s legendary Rough Point estate during Friday&#8217;s Audrain Gathering.<strong> </strong>The Audrain Concours draws thousands of collectors and automotive enthusiasts to Newport&#8217;s historic Gilded Age mansion lawns, making it the perfect venue to showcase the most exclusive Arcade vehicle yet.</p>
<p><strong>The art of military restoration<br /></strong>The 240 GD represents Arcade’s most ambitious restoration, transforming battle-hardened military vehicles through a meticulous six-phase process that can take hundreds of hours per car.</p>
<ol>
<li>Sourcing and evaluation</li>
<li>Sand or ice blasting</li>
<li>Welding and metalwork</li>
<li>Paint</li>
<li>Engine restoration and tuning</li>
<li>Interior recreation and modifications</li>
</ol>
<p>Master artisans fully disassemble each vehicle, documenting every component to ensure authenticity during reassembly. The chassis undergoes extensive metalwork to repair decades of military wear, while paint specialists apply anti-corrosive treatments and premium finishes in climate-controlled facilities. In the interior workshop, the military cabin is reimagined as a luxury environment, with options ranging from luxury automotive grade leather to adventure-ready synthetics, premium audio systems, and bespoke sports and overlanding equipment solutions. Each restoration preserves the vehicle’s original military engineering while integrating modern technology to maintain the authentic G-Wagen driving experience collectors seek.</p>
