Heat issues? Maybe not?

Just a real quick question, and probably a dumb one at that. Is it normal for these old cars (I have an 84 300D Euro) to take a while for heat to come out, espically in ~12F weather? These mornings are really getting cold, and until I can get on the highway, the heat is mediocre at best.

Is this just the way these things are supposed to work, or is there a problem? Once the car is "hot", the heat blows out pretty well. Not scorching-hot, by any means.. but comfortable. And thanks to the iron engine, it holds heat pretty well, too. My climate controls are of the dial-type.. (one for fan), and two hot-cold dials for the left and right sides of the car. Has levers for upper - lower vents (which I like a lot better than the ACC's). So.. is this a problem, or just my car being old?
