I have to repeat myself (or BG) again:

On a serious note I know where you coming from. I still remember the first time when my Dad arrived at home in a new shiny W114....gosh I still remember the smell of this car

It was white with Blue leather......
Looks like you are not the only one with memories

Oh brother.

Yes, I have a great memory for cars. I was a car nut at birth. I recall the way the rubber floor coverings smelled in our Ford Falcon while I was still in the womb.

My mom is the one who got excited about new cars, while my dad couldn't care less about them. So I guess that's why it's her emotions I remember. Dad cared about efficiency and longevity, so he was the first one to bring a MB home for my mom to drive. I think it was a 1975 300D. Mom thought it was a terribly noisy and smelly contraption, and couldn't understand why anybody would pay Cadillac prices for an import.
