You can always tell if it is a diesel or petrol: Diesel, the radio antenna is mounted in the front, Petrol, the radio antenna is mounted in the back. This is because you would not have electrical interference with the radio signal. This was also the case in the newer generations.
I had a 1959, the same colour but blue interior with a bench front seat. Unfortunatly in Canada they started using road salt and it rusted out. I sold the engine and the last I heard it was powering a sawmill near Denby Ontario. It was an "Americanized" version and had a turnsignal on the left side of the steering coulmne and a floor dipper switch. It was slow. Maby 60 mph downhill with a tailwind, but handling was superb and on a twisty road it could leave American cars with marshmellow suspension eating its somtimes smoky exhaust. I paid $50.00 for it when our local Studebaker ran it out of fuel and none of his mechanics knew that you had to bleed the fuel system before it would start.
Breathtaking car, thank you sir
Glad you like it!
Love the old Mercedes. Beautiful car.
Me too!
Legend has it that right turn signal is still ON.
True
It is!
