Not far from the ’72 MGB-GT sits this well-picked-over (yet still stately) Mercedes-Benz W120. I can’t figure out the model year, but let’s say mid-1950s.
This car suffers from a few rust issues, but it’s still a shame that it’s been junked after more than a half-century of life.
The 1.8 or 1.9 liter four-cylinder is still there for the pickin’.

On second glance the paint color is different.

What a catch! Handsome machine, sad such a rarity must go. But as a Ford Tempo fan, I see tragedy such as this very often.

How the hell’ve you been Mr. FTF?! My neighbor has a rusty Tempo coupe that reminds me of you. And I usually ask any Alaskans I run into if they know you. There’s like twenty of you up there right?
