A bit of polish and that'll look as good as new!

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

Just like the Ever Ready Bunny Toyota just keeps going and going. It all depends on how much money you want to spend.

Took this picture a few weeks ago in Lattakia, Syria.
Looked a lot worse "live".

A lot of potential there. Man, I'd put some bucks into that to fix it up. $5K-7K would make that an awesome ride. I don't recognize it. Is that a 50-something Peugeot?

That`s a Mercedes.
At least 30 - 40 years old I guess.
Apparently the car has been standing there for the last 7 years!

Just curious. Looked like the Peugeot "rampant lion" emblem on the front.

Definitely looks "fixable" though. I love the body style.

Did a search: it`s from around 1964.
Just standing there rusting away slowly in the sun.
