The only MB service manager I'm familiar with is a fellow who knows my interest in old cars and calls me when they have something from the '60's or '70's in for service so perhaps I'll take him to lunch and sound him out.What do I have to lose,right?

Meanwhile some beadblasting and POR 15ing have bought me some time as this is still my daily,dare I say beater?you'd never know it by the condition I keep it in though.
Odd,yesterday morning in the diner parking lot I saw the most immaculate '56 Plymouth Suburban wagon,bronze and white,270 V8 and 3 speed with overdrive! Owner's getting divorced and the price I can live with,gonna wring it out on the Parkway today so who knows......Meanwhile I have to install those lower ball joints on the front end of the 210 diesel today.
