Featured Preservation Projects
Each automobile entrusted to EXQUISITEMAD® represents an irreplaceable chapter of mechanical artistry — machines that shaped the world’s cultural, industrial, and aesthetic evolution.
Our preservation process respects not only their physical form but also their
historical and financial significance — often measured in the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
1930s Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet
Estimated value:: $11.8 million (coachbuilt example)
Regarded as one of the most elegant and technically advanced automobiles of the pre-war era, the 540 K defined luxury when Europe rebuilt its future through craftsmanship.
EXQUISITEMAD® executed a museum-grade conservation program — chrome stabilization under micro-humidity control, lacquer rehydration, and heritage leather preservation — ensuring the car retains 100 % of its original materials.
The result is a living sculpture admired by curators and collectors alike for its authenticity and concours brilliance.
1915 Harley-Davidson 11-F Twin
Estimated value: $1.1 million (100 % original example)
A century-old American icon — one of the earliest twin-cylinder motorcycles ever produced.
This machine predates modern highways and stands as a relic of the industrial revolution on two wheels.
EXQUISITEMAD® performed a full archival preservation: every brass control, nickel fitting, and raw-leather saddle was stabilized using proprietary metal-oxide neutralizers and natural-oil restoration compounds.
The goal was not to “restore” but to
immortalize a genuine survivor from the dawn of motorized freedom.
1950s Porsche 356 Speedster
Estimated value: $800,000 (original Reutter-bodied example)
The Speedster captured post-war Europe’s spirit of lightweight precision.
This Reutter-bodied masterpiece retains its factory metalwork, interior trim, and data plates — a rare feat #601 among surviving 356 models.
EXQUISITEMAD® conducted an archival Swissvax® Concorso preservation, leather hydration using plant-based emollients, and paint-film stabilization that enhances gloss without increasing thickness.
The Speedster now stands as a
rolling museum piece, its patina narrating decades of motion and memory.
