It’s official! 2026 marks our 90 th year as a locally owned and family operated automotive dealer group, serving Chicagoland’s luxury automotive sales and service needs with purpose, passion, and pride. It’s been a true pleasure to serve generations of families for nine decades. From the very first handshake in 1936 to the latest vehicle delivery, every mile on this journey has been guided by a simple belief that our success is measured by the trust and confidence our customers place in us. Our founder, Martin Loeber, bought his first dealership in downtown Chicago in 1936, and since that day we’ve been honored to be a part of this vibrant community. As the years have rolled by, Loeber Motors has grown and evolved, yet our core commitments have remained steady: integrity, service, and a genuine love for the brands we represent. We’ve built lasting relationships, supported local initiatives, and committed ourselves to excellence in every interaction from the showroom floor to the service bay, and everywhere in between. In 2026, we celebrate the milestones we’ve accomplished, but more importantly, we express our gratitude to every single client we’ve had the pleasure to serve. Your loyalty, referrals, and trust have shaped our path and inspired us to continually raise the bar. We’ve learned from you, adapted with you, and grown because of you. Thank you for being a part of Loeber Motors’ 90-year legacy. Your support has inspired three generations of Loeber family leadership, teamwork, and giving back to the Chicago communities we call home. The journey continues and we are honored to share it with you. As we look ahead, we remain devoted to helping you find the right vehicle, delivering the service you expect, and embracing the innovations that will carry us into the next era of mobility. Here’s to the road ahead, together.

A night to remember! On Sunday, we gathered at The Glen Club for our annual Loeber Motors Holiday Party. It was an evening filled with warmth, laughter, and togetherness. From festive cocktails to dinner, lively music, and delightful giveaways, it was a beautiful celebration of our incredible team and the joy of the season. Here’s to the people who make Loeber so special, and cheers to the memories made and the moments still to come.

What an honor it was to be a sponsor for the Doc-a-palooza Rockin’ for a Cause event last Friday at Joe’s Live. $367,103 was raised, which helped achieve the 3-year, $1 million Better than Medicine campaign for the Cancer Survivorship Center. This center provides supportive services and programs for patients of Advocate Lutheran General, along with any cancer patient or cancer survivor in the surrounding communities. Everyone enjoyed a fun evening with great food and live music by four very talented physician-led bands. We are so grateful to have been a part of such a beautiful event. ❤ Check Out Our Latest Inventory

What a beautiful day of day of golf, pickleball, and community support as we continue to work together to “Get Depression Out of the Dark.”

The lights hit different at night in Chicago. The skyline sharpens. The music deepens. Doors open to the right names, and engines start for the right people. Enter the 2026 Mercedes-AMG® GLS 63 Arctic Silver Edition—a matte-finished, black-accented, V8-powered beast that might be the first luxury SUV born not for weekend errands or school pickups, but for nights out. Loud ones. Sharp ones. Nights that start with rooftop negronis and end sometime near sunrise on Wacker Drive. You don't take the Arctic Silver Edition out at noon. You wait until dusk settles over Lincolnwood. The matte Cirrus Silver Magno paint picks up the last bit of gold from the horizon and transforms it into brushed steel. The 23-inch matte-black AMG® wheels glint with red rim accents. The grille and tailpipes—blacked-out, glossed-up—look like they were designed in a moodboard meeting between Berlin and Gotham. It's not a car. It's a limited-edition nightclub on wheels. Check Out: Understanding Mercedes-Benz MBUX Infotainment System You slide into the cabin. It smells like the inside of a custom suit shop: quilted Carmine Red and Black Nappa leather, red carbon fiber, suede touches, and ambient light that pulses gently as the engine comes alive. Mercedes only made 450 of these worldwide, and it shows. The mood is tailored, not flashy. Confident. This isn’t a sports car pretending to be young. It’s an SUV that knows exactly how grown-ups party. Carmine Red and Black Nappa leather, red carbon fiber trim, and a scent like confidence stitched in suede. This is what after-hours luxury feels like.. The V8 barks, then settles into a low, smooth purr. EQ Boost mild hybrid keeps things civilized under 2,000 rpm—useful for creeping through valet lines or subtly pulling away from that Tesla Model X that revved uninvited. 603 horsepower, 627 lb-ft of torque, and a 0–60 time around 4.1 seconds, not that anyone’s watching (they are). You roll toward the city, windows up, Burmester surround sound on. A vinyl remix of Sade hums through 26 speakers. Check Out: The Ultimate Luxury 2025 Mercedes-Maybach GLS First stop: Nobu’s rooftop. You’re not staying long—just a drink and some presence. The valet clock checks the AMG® badge and triple-takes when he sees the red-flanged wheels. You hand him the key fob like it’s a backstage pass. Inside, the night is young. You sip something citrusy and bitter, scan the crowd, check your watch—not because you’re late, but because time feels luxurious when you’re driving something that costs more than a River North condo deposit. Next stop: Celeste. The Arctic Silver Edition eats the short stretch from West Loop to River North like it was born for these turns. You hit Sport+ on the AMG® dynamics selector. The ride stiffens just enough. Steering sharpens. The engine tone deepens. You pull up curbside, and the backlit Mercedes star gleams like neon on your own personal VIP sign. Doormen nod. Phones come out. Someone leans over and asks, “That the special edition?” You just smile. Ambient lighting pulses with the beat. The vibe is velvet rope–exclusive—even with the windows up. You get inside, past the rope, past the wait. The music lifts. Chicago’s nightlife isn’t quiet, but it rewards precision. The crowd knows quality, and so does your SUV. And you. And the night. Later—much later—it's after midnight and you're rolling again, this time toward Pilsen for a low-key after-hours spot with a rooftop view and no name on the door. The Arctic Silver is even more seductive under streetlights. The matte paint catches sodium light like moon dust. The tinted windows hold secrets. The AMG® active exhaust system gives just enough growl to turn heads without announcing anything. It's not about noise—it's about tone. Inside, you’ve kept the climate at 72. The seats cool themselves. The ambient lighting now glows red to match the interior scheme. There’s still a half-sparkling water left from earlier in the refrigerated rear console. This is what separates an AMG® SUV from the rest. It doesn't drop its shoulders when the city gets quiet. It becomes a sanctuary. At 2:00 a.m., you glide past Lower Wacker. The road’s slick, empty, cinematic. You could film a music video here—and the GLS would be the star. The air suspension keeps everything smooth. The weight, the power, the silence. You’re not rushing. You’re floating. It's not about getting home—it's about making the ride feel like the final act of a perfect night. Live the 2026 AMG® GLS Arctic Silver Edition experience. By 3:00 a.m., the streets start to empty. You’ve passed West Town, looped back to the lake. Parked briefly to take a photo—skyline in background, AMG® badge glinting in low light. No filters needed. This is what after-dark was made for. The GLS Arctic Silver Edition doesn’t just perform—it punctuates. It’s the SUV that closes down clubs and opens secret doors. It’s the rolling velvet rope. It's confidence made metal. Whether you’re making an entrance or an exit, this Mercedes doesn’t accompany the night—it defines it. Features at a glance: Handbuilt 4.0L twin-turbo AMG® V8 engine with EQ Boost (603 hp / 627 lb-ft) 0–60 mph in approximately 4.1 seconds; AMG® Speedshift TCT 9-speed automatic Exclusive Manufaktur Cirrus Silver Magno matte finish with Night Package accents Gloss-black 23" AMG® forged wheels with red rim flanges and red brake calipers Interior: Carmine Red/Black Nappa leather, red-tinted carbon fiber, ambient lighting AMG® Ride Control+ air suspension, self-leveling, and multiple performance drive modes Limited production: 450 units globally; estimated U.S. MSRP in mid-$160,000s Interested in the Arctic Silver Edition?

Leave your weekend plans to the amateurs—Sunday in Chicago was made for the luxe-curious and city-lovers behind the wheel of something exceptional. Enter: the newly refreshed 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS, a gleaming command center of comfort, tech, and street presence that turns a simple drive from Lincolnwood into a citywide adventure, one espresso and architectural marvel at a time. You start the morning in Lincolnwood, the kind of quiet suburb where mid-century charm meets affluence. The air is clean, the sidewalks whisper luxury remodels, and your SUV waits outside like a five-star hotel valet summoned it. You press start. The engine hums with barely a whisper—the 3.0-liter turbo inline-six with mild hybrid power giving just enough growl to remind you that under all this leather and LED mood lighting, there's torque waiting to pounce. Check Out: Understanding Mercedes-Benz MBUX Infotainment System First stop: caffeine. You roll down to New Devon Avenue, skipping the chains in favor of a maple-latte fix at Oromo Café. Parking? No problem. The GLS has a 360-degree camera system that makes even tight spots feel like valet zones. While your neighbors juggle cardboard cups and Teslas, you sip and scroll through the Hyperscreen interface—a smooth glass span now updated with more physical buttons (because even Mercedes knows sometimes you just want to feel the volume dial). From there, head south on McCormick Boulevard where the trees arch like they’re curating your drive. The GLS’s air suspension adjusts subtly, gliding over seams in the pavement like it's reading the road’s mind. Windows down, you feel that early breeze from the lake, scent of morning dew and faint espresso in the cabin. The ambient lighting—choose from 64 colors—adjusts automatically with the sun. Who needs sunglasses when your dashboard shifts from amber to arctic blue like it knows your mood better than you? Soon, the skyline peeks into view. Chicago doesn’t creep up; it leaps. The towers glint against the lake like the city is trying on its Sunday best, and the GLS is happy to match it button-for-button. You cut onto Lake Shore Drive, Mercedes’ signature LED lights carving through the city’s iconic corridor like a silver ribbon through blue water. You’re not in traffic; you’re in a private screening of your own luxury film. Check Out: The Ultimate Luxury 2025 Mercedes-Maybach GLS Detour time on your Mercedes GLS. Pull off LSD at Belmont and glide into Boystown. Park it near The Chicago Diner for a quick vegan brunch (go for the country-fried steak—trust us, it's not actual steak). Again, parking stress is zero. The GLS’s self-park feature handles the dance, and the automatic brake hold lets you focus on adjusting your sunglasses rather than inching forward at lights. Brunch behind you, you head deeper into the city. Shopping? You’re spoiled for options. Cruise down Michigan Avenue and let the stares happen. The GLS turns heads—it always has, but the 2026 refresh with its star-mesh grille, re-sculpted taillights, and cleaner aero lines turns glances into double takes. Inside, you’re cool, comfortable, and probably streaming jazz through the Burmester surround sound like the star of a Bond film on his day off. If you’re feeling cultural, turn west toward the West Loop. Art galleries like Kavi Gupta or ephemera boutiques line the streets. Pull up to Soho House, toss the keys to valet, and let the front grille’s LED star logo do the introduction. A few floors up, sip something gin-based and rooftop with the skyline stretched out behind you. Late afternoon with the GLS SUV. You've shopped, sipped, side-eyed art and architecture—and your SUV has kept pace without a single complaint or rattle. It's not just a luxury SUV; it’s a moving lounge, a tech lab, a mood. You decide it’s time for one last stretch: the scenic loop down to Museum Campus, where Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium hug the lakeshore. The parking lots here see their fair share of tourists, but your GLS draws knowing nods. Kids point. You smile. If you’re driving this SUV, you’re on the right side of elegance. Evening nears. You head back north, retracing your route through golden light. The GLS floats through traffic like it has diplomatic plates. Cabin silence reigns. You can hear your own breath, and the whisper of jazz still curling through the speakers. The skyline recedes. Lincolnwood returns. Back in the driveway, you switch off the ignition but linger. You didn’t just drive the GLS—you inhabited it. It carried you through city and style, brunched with you, parked like a champ, navigated narrow alleys and boulevard views like a sentient butler who also happens to have 375 horses under the hood. Chicago might be the main character, but today, you brought the best supporting cast. The 2026 GLS doesn’t need to shout. It hums. It purrs. It glides. It turns a one-hour drive into a daylong escape—and lets you write a better story than most travel guides will ever publish. Features of the Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV at a glance: 3.0-liter turbo inline-six mild hybrid (~375 hp); optional 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (~510 hp) Updated 9-speed 9G-Tronic automatic transmission with 4MATIC® all-wheel drive Hyperscreen infotainment system with new physical controls and refreshed UX Redesigned LED headlamps, new star-pattern grille, aerodynamic bodywork Standard panoramic roof, 64-color ambient lighting, Burmester surround system Parking assist, 360-degree cameras, multi-mode air suspension New boost Ready to take your own Chicago cruise in the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS?

Whether you live in Lincolnwood or are just passing through, a well-stocked car first aid kit is a vital piece of equipment while driving. This is especially true when you take a longer trip or are traveling with children. But do you know what essential items to include? Read on to discover five of the most important components of your kit. 1. Standard Provisions for Small Injuries The most likely scenario you'll encounter when out and about is a small injury. Whether it happens in a minor collision or someone simply gets hurt while out and about, being prepared for cuts, scrapes and bruises can really pay off. Important items to carry with you are plasters of various different sizes, several sterile gauze dressings, and various bandages. It can also be useful to carry some painkillers such as Tylenol or aspirin but read the instructions carefully before giving them to your children. There may be a child-friendly version available. 2. Distilled Water and Disinfectant Although you can use tap water to clean out contaminated wounds, this might not always be available when you're on the road. Carrying both distilled water and disinfectant can be helpful, especially if you're dealing with very dirty wounds. Use distilled water first, then add some disinfectant later if it is needed. 3. Fastening Tools and Scissors Imagine wrapping someone's wounds in bandages and then realizing you don't have anything to cut or fasten them with. Always keep scissors in your first aid kit and bring plenty of tools for fastening bandages, like safety pins and tape. Aside from being useful during an accident, they can also help you out with smaller problems such as a clothing mishap or a torn map. 4. Eye Dressings, Wash and Bath If someone's eyes have been in contact with a toxic substance, speed is crucial. The faster you wash out their eyes, the smaller the likelihood of long-term damage. Carrying at least two eye dressings, eyewash and an eye bath can be a lifesaver in such a situation. 5. Basic Instructions Although you know what to do in an emergency, your passengers or other drivers might not. Just in case, print out a leaflet with some basic first aid instructions and keep it in your car at all times. That way, you know the above items will be used correctly no matter who is administering them. Once you've done this, inform the rest of your family about your emergency kit and the instructions included. Make sure to store it in a safe, dry place in your car, away from the reach of children. Putting together a great first aid kit doesn't have to be hard if you stick to this list and add whatever extra items are important in your situation. Once you're all set, come see us to shop for a new or used car to suit your needs. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are waiting to welcome you and show you around. Image courtesy of pexels.com
