Bought a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 220D Automatic

In 1:43 scale.   

Love the attention to detail on this beauty. Check out the speedometer details and the column shift automatic!

You need a real classic, Wimmer.

I assume the seats are every bit as hard and unyielding as the original.

I need one of these.

I think with cloth and velour seats they were comfortable. Leather and MB-Tex would probably be very hard and slippery.

MB-tex; was that the perforated biege stuff that was almost, but not quite entirely unlike leather?

Yeah, it was pretty bad.

That's a great blue. The old Mercedes way of matching wheel color with the body paint was also super styling.  I wish they still did that today (although everyone now at least in the U.S. gets them in some shade of white, silver, grey, black.

I love that feature. But at the same time it wouldn't have looked good on the successor models W126 S-Class and W124 E-Class.
