I hope both of these can be straightened enough to be useable. Now my question, do I need a special anti-freeze in this car as was required in the cars made in the 1980's?
Sounds like you both had a bad day. Yes, just like any Mercedes-Benz, it is recommended you install Mercedes antifreeze. I'm sure it can be straightened, but pictures would help also of the damage.
