I learned how to drive in my dad's 1963 190 back in the late 70's. My dad ended up giving me that car 30 some years ago when I was young and dumb and not very mechanical. The shifting linkage bushings were bad and the mechanic I took it to ended up, basically, stealing the car from me and I was too naive and poor to get it back. (Long story regarding supposedly unattainable bushings and then, once obtained, very expensive - in hindsight, not. Add to that bogus "storage" fees and the guy kept the car because I suddenly had a bill for way more than I'd been quoted and way more than I could afford. But, I learned a lot from the experience and ended up teaching myself mechanics).
Anyway, I've basically been looking for a 1963 190 for over 30 years because I "lost" my dad's car. Thanks to fb marketplace, a 1963 190D showed up on my feed and.....now I own it!

My dad's was blue and gasoline and mine is green and diesel but, otherwise it's a trip down memory lane! Looking forward to tooling around a bit.
