thanks; felt good. certainly makes the occasional nuisance of a
stuck latch or vacuum issue seem insignificant, especially in
comparison to how much less classy and more fuss many newer vehicles
are.
really reinforces the impression that somebody knew what they
were doing when they were making these things back then. (i'm not
nearly as enamored with what they're making and/or selling here now.)
cheers!

Yes, they knew what they were doing back then. Even in the 50 and
60s they did well with the technology of the day, and still were
advanced for the day. Unfortunately the bowties took over about 1987
and the old guard engineers retired or were forced into a box. Other
than safety, I don't see any appeal of a newish MB over deetriot iron
or riceburners. In fact, it is sad to say, but most camries are more
aesthetically pleasant than ~ 2010+ MBs.
I can say the same for BMW motorsickles too. /2 and earlier, /5, /6
and even /7 look nice. the current crop look like a riceburner,
except for the ones with jugs hanging out look like riceburners with
jugs. Even the early K series could be distinguished on the road as
a BMW.
All reasons I like 123 240Ds and my /5.
