Our car, a 1977 Mercedes 450SL, was provided by Michelle deLeon, a woodworker and leathersmith whose fond memories of a cool, childhood neighbor—who drove the identical car—prompted her to buy her own when she grew up. DeLeon’s dog came along for the ride, and his sweet beagle-boxer nature landed him a spot in the shoot as well.
