I saw this car just outside the office this morning. It was parked in the spot where the Burrito restaurant owner normally parks his beamer. He was pretty pissed. I have no idea what model it is. I'll change that after some investigation.

My dad had an old 190D for many many years - and this looks an awful lot like it... but looking at the photos, this one may be larger. Very hard to tell - frustrating lack of rear badges.
EDIT: never mind, if I had looked at the top of the page I would have seen that it's a 240D.

I'm not sure that it's a 240. I asked around on the vortex and the best guess was a 220 or 230 from around 1960-65.

This would be known as a Heckflosse, "Fintail." My grandfather used to have a 200, with the comedy speedo which changed color the faster you went. It was kind of cool.

Here's the wiki entry for that series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_Heckflosse

And here's a fan site in Holland: http://www.heckflosse.nl/
