Ever wanted to know what they look like?? Obviously an old sectionized display but still very clean today:

Very impressive.
Amazing how they sectioned the engine and all the parts and assembled it after.

Had a Straight 8 given to me in the 90's couldn't think what to do with it. Sold it what was I thinking . If I had it now I would put it in a 48/215 . It was a 263 Buick with 3 speed over drive manual almost looks like a grey motor. :eek:

Except almost twice the length... you'd have to lengthen the engine bay on that 48/215 :eek:

Yes but wouldn't it be cool with column shift standard steering wheel maybe some smith gauges. And widened steel rims maybe in the light green colour they came in. :D

That collection of photos posted by Oversize is simply amazing. Am I correct in assuming that they are MB Museum exhibits, or are they located elsewhere ? I suspect it's not the MB Museum. Regards Styria
