1975 was when I first remember really noticing my friend's father's 1968 200D. "Foreign" cars were a rarity in staunch UAW Caterpillar makin' central Illinois. I remember his tools, his shop manuals, thinking this is how owning a car should be. The sound and feeling you got when you closed the doors (as opposed to swinging the door closed on my dad's '74 Tornado). Pulling out that wierd plunger and watching the coil in the salt shaker. The steering wheel. Knowing this is what we'll made feels like. So, I traded in my '76 TR7 in '78 for my first MB...a '72 220D. The rest is history.
