Since the formal merging of Mercedes and AMG in 2005 to form Mercedes-AMG GmbH the German performance subbrand has been on an interesting trajectory, especially with the relatively recent introduction of diet-AMG models like the 43 and 53 cars. Where spotting an AMG badge on the back of a Mercedes-Benz used to mean something seriously special, the brand has become somewhat diluted with the democratization of the AMG badge. But don’t get it twisted. The new 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance is a full-fat AMG car with a handbuilt engine and eye-watering performance capabilities.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
