Oh, My God! I Think I've Got Mercedes-Benz Fever!
My father always had a Mopar and a Mercedes. The last one was a 72 450SEL, which I went on to get many speeding tickets in! Fantastic cars, really engineered well. I remember the car had aluminum heads and intake, fuel injection, double overhead cams, and a ton of other go fast goodies. The builders spent enormous attention to detail on those cars. The car was a deep Burgundy color with tan leather seats/interior, and the dash used real walnut veneers. What an awesome car that was! I could easily see how anyone could get caught up with Mercedes Benz.
