When my Dad was shopping for his first Mercedes-Benz diesel, in the mid-1960s I was with him when he stopped at Morton Motors in downtown Omaha, NE to enquire about the machines from old man Morton. He was the only Studebaker dealer I recall as a child in Omaha. He was the only MB dealer for decades as well. The Studebaker for whatever reasons were not very plentiful on the streets, about the same as the Mercedes-Benz sightings in the 1950s - 1960s in Omaha. Very few people owned new Mercedes-Benz' at the time. There were perhaps more Porsches in our very old subdivision section of Omaha dating back to homes built on acreage in the 1930s- 1940s. The Porsches and Jaguars were a special sight for me to see.
