A few friends have had 540Ks and some other pre-war stuff, but I was not even alive when they sold the cars. Too bad I'm not older in that respect, don't spend much time around the pre-war stuff. Been around a lot of 300SLs though, worked on a few too. Ridden in a few too, if you ever get the opportunity, do not pass it up. Drooling over them is good, but the ride is even better.

There are a couple of 300SLs that belong to members of the Washington Section of the MBCA that always turn up at local gatherings. I have not had the opportunity to ride in either of them, though. I am actually looking for cars to photograph and paint. The old ones are particularly fun in that respect.

Dee8go, I've always enjoyed your works as they've appeared here over the years.
My oldest cars are a matched pair of 51 & 52 model 220 sedans. As rust bucket parts cars, they're quite lovely and large paperweights as they'll never ever be back on the road. -CTH |

The central lubrication pedal is not to be pumped when things "begin creaking" but every 60 miles.
