Straight from the pages of Mercedes Benz Heritage in the States - some delightful Mercedes Benz exhibits. That 2-door Ponton Coupe - delectable. I could have bought one a few years ago (say 15) for $25K. - that was on the day when Rene Rivkin's 600 sold for $40K. A steal at that price, and it reflected Rivkin's drop in fortune at that time.
At that auction, there was also a 1962 Lagonda Rapide - the second one I had ever seen in real life - it also went for $25K. Ahhh, if one only had the money ! Rivkin's car owed him about 130-140 and it was a steal at the price it sold for. I suspect it's somewhere over in China now. Regards Styria
