Also, my 1999 E300 between 48K and 64K miles had nearly $2800 in repair! Now what is expensive?
The challenge for me would be that if I get one I am going to want to drive it 6-8 months out of the year.

I almost bought a '49 Packard a few years back, that straight eight motor sure is a honey. Napa is a geat source for parts. They stock oil filters for my 50 year old tractors, try that at a Autozoo. It's pretty cool when you can walk in and tell the guy you need an oil filter for a Ford 8n and the guy just walk to the back and gets it, he doesn't even need a catalog.
