1934 150 Sport Roadster Mercedes Benz, one of 5 made, only one left just restored last year by the Irvine Merc. Benz Classic Center

Click on the above for the story of the finding of, and acquistion of this rare Benz, and final restoration by the Mercedes Benz Classic Center in Irvine - not the Stuttgart Mercedes Benz Center! Huh!

Elegant street rods

camera flash really can fill in an engine bay well, especially when all that chrome bounces the light all over

That's really pretty in the zoom close up

I came across this 190 SL on the freeway, and knew it was a show car from seeing it at SEMA http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/02/i-spotted-1961-mercedes-190sl-mercedes.html

just passing time on the curbside in Argentina and Uruguay, from aptly named Fossils Mechanical, by Gabriel and his friends

Notice this cab is chained to the tree

the above and the below pair are Mercedes

Above 1938 Ford
The above 2cv Citreon has a unique story, there is a special compartment under the seat where it's owners ashes were put, as his dying wish was to be a part of the car, and the city, until it may be towed away. (Doesn't look like towing is a big priority)

If you enjoy the wonder of what is just over the next hill, around the next bend, and on the next block that is waiting for someone to notice and fix up, you'll enjoy http://fosilesmecanicos.blogspot.com/

I spotted the 1961 Mercedes 190SL, the "Mercedes Bent" , on the 5 freeway yesterday... nice to see someone uses a show car for a change

For the gallery of photos I took of this when it was at SEMA last November: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/11/1961-mercedes-190sl-with-custom-touch.html
