This particular automobile was purchased in 1962 by a USAF Captain stationed at Wright-Patterson AFB. In his ownership the car traveled throughout the United States, from Ohio to California and then to Europe where it was refurbished by the Mercedes-Benz factory. The automobile traveled the world again to be purchased 23 years ago by the current owner in Fairfield, OH. A second restoration was started fifteen years ago and completed in April 2007.
This automobile cost approximately $5,020.00 (East Coast US) plus $300 for removable hardtop. The overhead valve, 1897cc 4-cylinder produced 105 horsepower and was capable of zero-to-sixty in 13.2 seconds and could reach top speed of 106 miles per hour.
