1937 Mercedes Benz 540K supercharged sport cabriolet at the Dana Point Concours

the flagship model of the Mercedes company, and these were special ordered. Only 12 survive

one family owned 1928 Mercedes-Benz 26/120/180 ‘S’ Type Sports Tourer up for grabs at auction

parked in the same garage since the 1930’s, and laid up since the 1950’s, its unworn 1928 logbook evidences a passage of ownership within the same family throughout.

1966 Unimog flatbed tow truck... with an innovative tilt rear wheel assembly that is brilliant

sorta makes you wonder why this didn't become more common as a design... it would be very useful in a small scale for wheelchairs, motorcycles, boats, jet-skis etc

the above is the rear wheel hubcap

I don't remember ever seeing anything like this before! Proves to me that there are still cool vehicles to see, but they aren't coming to many shows, and I have to keep going to shows I haven't been to in order to find them
