***Leonberg Classic Car Show (Part 1)***

Last Sunday there was a classic car show (yep, another one in my region!) in nearby [B Leonberg[/b]. It was actually a classic tractor show since I am surrounded by farmland but thankfully some nice classic cars showed up to make the event worthwhile. My father tagged along because there was going to be a lot of beer and cholesterol loaded food to enjoy.


On the way to Leonberg - classic tractor owners.


This was going to be a family event. This guy brought his son and daughter along. I thought it was cute the way they were riding in this thing.


Now we're talking. NSU 1200 and Open Manta Typ A


The Manta and a Ford Mustang Convertible








The Mustang later in the day leaving the show...


A Mercedes 319 Bus. The last photo shows the 319 in a different position and with a Mercedes 170S in the background.




A taste of what is to come!


Opel Rekord Coupe




Mercedes 300 "Adenauer"



The Adenauer Mercedes and a Citroen DS 21. The owner of this the Citroen was a young female college student who had a thing for Citroens. Miro, you reading this?






Here she is! A secret snap shot of her...



The Mercedes 170S. Beautiful machine.




Fiat 2000 with fuel injection.





Mercedes 240D W115 - notice the rare automatic transmission option. Wasn't really ordered much in combination with a slow diesel motor.




Somebody caption this picture!


More classic tractors. Man they smelled like diesel!




Opel Rekord 1900E. I love that "coke bottle" look of this car. Reminds me of a '68 Dodge Charger in a way.






End of Part 1

I don't know much about the Mustang but the Adenauer is a classic Mercedes and I know quite a bit about them. The most important facts about it are that it was powered by MB's first post-World War II 6-cylinder engine (the same one found in the 300SL but not so strongly modified). Quite a few are still around. They're not really rare but they're not very common either. The really rare ones are the "Convertible sedans" of which only 51 were made: and I spotted one in my town!

Here: http://www.germancarzone.com/older-m...%2A%2A%2A.html

Here's another thread I made on a 300a which belongs to a friend of ours.

http://www.germancarzone.com/s-class...%2A%2A%2A.html


Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was very fond of this car and made it his governmental limousine. That's how the car got the name "Adenauer". That's about all there is to say about the car. Technologically speaking it was very simple.

Attaching them via email will take forever so I am going to host them on Imageshack and send you the links via PM.

Later perhaps, got some stuff to do now.

Sounds great

I tried to give karma but it says I need to 'spread reputation around' a bit more

And, just a random question: what was the difference between the 170 and 220's with this body style? There's a '220' on Wikipedia that looks exactly the same (I thought it was a 170 when I saw it):



Is it just the headlights? Or is it a different body entirely?
