For some reason I didn't photograph much of anything except Mercedes-Benzes at the May 1 Potch car show.
Some quality old Benzes in the North-West!

Anything from R 150K upwards, more than 3 times that price for a soft top

The 300SEL 6,3 is still the big Daddy, I love that car! :hangloose:

Those Mercedes coupes was a work of art, I just love the 280/300 coupes. We have a old local lady that has a 280 coupe and a convertible. Her husband was the owner of the local MB dealer some years ago, she drives one or the other car from time to time. But everybody makes way when she is coming, she park by brail. The front and back bumpers on both cars have lots of dents. She gets offers on a weekly basis for the cars, but she says they can fight over it when she is gone.
Thsoe pick ups are the bomb, lets see- 4 inch body lift, 20 inch rims, 32 inch tires, a 6.3 liter V8, yeap I might be in. No they are beautiful
