Diesel Distraction


1962 180Dc Mercedes. Local auction find. A cream puff with only 249,000 original miles. Column shift 4-speed transmission. Really a nice machine for backroads country cruising. Top factory rated speed of 75mph is noted as "optimistic" by most contemporary reviewers. Of note, diesel 180ds won their class in the 1955 Mille Miglia.
