Newbie - Need Help 1959 190B Texas
 

I had a serious breach of sanity and bought her off Craigslist several years ago. I got her running and did a bit of work on her, but she had a rusty fuel tank and would stop running at the most unwelcome places. I put her in the garage for a few years and then fixed the problem with the fuel tank, but the brakes went out. A couple of more years in the garage and now it is time to do something to get her back on the road or sell her. I would prefer to keep her. After all that, here is my question. Does anyone know a trustworthy mechanic in the Houston, Texas area that I can contact to take a look at her to see what all is needed to get her going? I have contacted several and they don't have the time or experience with a car this old. Thanks for the help.

I would recommend that you contact your local Mercedes Benz Club of America (MBUSA). MBUSA has a website which lists clubs by area with contact information. They probably have a member (s) who can recommend a good mechanic in your area who has experience with your vintage Mercedes.

Thank you. I will try looking them up.
