couple of questions

one am i correct to assume that it was about the 60s when mercedes had more of a roundish front end or is that a euro model
my second one is how are the older 28os
i am thinking about getting another car to give lenore the 300d a rest so i may put some work into her. i found this older 280 auto the other day. i dont have any flics yet but i am going to call tonight and take a look soon i will post flics then.

The 280 motor is a very powerful smooth motor and very very durable, but uses almost as much gas as a v8 in an automatic equipped car.
