True, but this car lives 2 miles from the beach so not much heat and far enough from salt to be rust free so all that stuff is in really good shape for the age.
Unfortunately I don't have a garage for it so after being garaged for the 1st 35 years of life it now sits out. After daughter #2 learns to drive I'll pass the old Benz on to a new home so I want it looking good for about 3 more years.
