My "new" '65 190D

Check it out. The project has started.

Put a battery in it and got my friend Clarence to show me how to crank it up (and shut it off) and she fired right up - first time it has run in 3 yrs. Drove it 18 miles home and it drove out like I remember my first drive in a Benz (1959 220S). It is going to be a good little car. My plans are to clean it up and repair/paint it.

Very nice!
I'm glad to see that you're putting your new shop to good use.
It would be a shame to see a bunch of lawn mowers, weed eaters and tillers in there.

Dont laugh... that 'little car' will put your other Benz's out of business.

And if you ever see a 220Sb in the junkyard - grab ALL the woodwork including dashboard and window strips. They will bolt right into the 190.
