Beautiful Restored 1958 Mercedes Model 219.

In 2000 I completely stripped the car including the door jambs to bare white metal then primed it with 2 coats of DP 90 catalyzed epoxy primer then applied 3 coats of high build primer followed by 4 coats of base coat and finished up with 3 coats of clear coat. That's 12 coats of paint.

The chrome was redone by Art Brass in Seattle and cost almost $3000 for the bumpers door handles drivers and door mirror.

Their process is copper plating and polish repeatedly until smooth then the nickel plate then Chrome.

Art Brass in Seattle is well known for their excellence in restoring chrome for collector cars.

When I purchased the New OEM steering box from Mercedes I was told that I got the last one from the 5 Mercedes depots in the US.

The front suspension has all new Mercedes king pins, upper and lower pins.

The steering is perfect and has zero side play.

Red Leather upholstery.

Engine was rebuilt by Auto sport in Seattle, they are well known in the Seattle are for their ability to restore engines on antique cars..

Pistons were balanced on a gram scale.

It has .02 over pistons and .01 under rods and mains.

Upgraded oil pump used in the 220 engines.

Engine has sodium filled exhaust valves and hardened valve seats, so it runs just fine on unleaded gas.

Also has a Borla stainless steel exhaust system that extends from the engine all the way to the tailpipe.

This stainless steel exhaust will last a lifetime.

I have all of the original receipts.

Runs and drives just fine.

All original factory parts.

New OEM window and door gaskets, that's a thousand $ just for the gaskets.

Original spear light pads and lenses.

I also got the last available grill emblem, it's perfect as you can see in the photos.

Note the pictures of the undercarriage show the brand new Mercedes fender fasteners and gaskets.

Also note the condition of the headlight housing inside of both front fenders.

Even though there is a modern CD player in the dash, I have the original radio and it's related parts carefully stored so it would be easy to restore the dash to original.

There were only 27730 of these cars built over a period of 4 years.

After 50+ years I'm sure that few remain in excellent condition.

I have kept this car in my garage for the last 35 years, so if you're looking for a real nice quality car with no rust this is it.

First official shot of Mercedes S-Class Coupe leaks out

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

With the official debut for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe expected tomorrow, it shouldn't be a surprise that some clicky fingers have already managed to uncover an official image of the car before the unveiling. Outside of this sole image, though, there's precious little detail on the new car.
First posted by Autofilou and then picked up by WorldCarFans, the production S-Class Coupe isn't far off from the concept car we saw a few months back in Frankfurt. Like the concept, the leggy production model appears related, albeit distantly, to the S-Class Sedan. The hood and front fascia are longer and lower, befitting of a two-door, while the character lines in the profile are more pronounced. Obviously, the beltline and slim, B-pillarless greenhouse are coupe-only items. We can't see any details on the back of the car, although it does appear that the long hood has a correspondingly short rear deck.
We'll have all the details on the official replacement for the CL-Class when it makes its full debut tomorrow. Until then, what do you think of this lone image? Does it appear that Mercedes has got it right? In terms of design, where would you rank this with the departing CL-Class? Have your say in Comments.

Firing of M-B boss upheld

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.

Mercedes FWD platform to last until 2018, convertible and two-seater future uncertain

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Mercedes-Benz seems to be expecting a lot of success from its front-wheel-drive CLA-Class. Automotive News is reporting that the sub-C-Class sedan could grow when its second generation arrives in 2018.
The current FWD platform for MB underpins the CLA, the B-Class, the GLA-Class, and the A-Class. The B-Class will arrive in North America as an EV for spring of 2014, while the production GLA crossover will arrive three to four months after that. The five-door A-Class won't be crossing The Pond. Sad faces all around.
According to AN, another model will be based on the front-drive architecture, but it won't be coming to the US market. Set to arrive next year, rumors are that it'll be a wagon version of the CLA, sort of like the ill-named five-door CLS Shooting Brake that is also a Europe-only item.
