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

I used to work at Napa and I was amazed at the range of parts still available. I specifically remember a guy coming in one time asking for a set of points for a '31 pontiac...we had them on the shelf.
