My thought is the reason you don't see many old cars in many areas is that everyone including kids are living beyond there means. They expect new cars and most families have several new cars. Maybe this little wake-up call will change a few poeples minds on buying new cars. I think we know it did or the auto industry wouldn't have had to shut production down. As for the life of the MB I think it has many years left. After WWII many Model T's and A's were pulled off the road but with over 15 MILLION T's produced they are still around. I have a 21 and a 23 that are original. Parts are still available and used parts can still be found. With the loyalty to MB's that many owners have they will be around for quite some time. Thanks
