Life is funny, I remember my friend's father in the 80s who was very rich and had many of these vintage cars. He never allowed his children to drive them...LOL. Then he died in the 90s. After the burial, the children were cruising in every one of them. The first son took the newest one S500 SEL he imported but never drove it. Life is funny!
