1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 Cabriolet Strong and beautiful 50's classic German engineering at it's finest!
The Mercedes-Benz W188 was a luxury sports tourer produced by Mercedes-Benz between 1951 and 1958. The company's most expensive and exclusive automobiles, the elegant, hand-built 300 S (1951-1954) and its successor 300 Sc (1955-1958) were the pinnacle of the Mercedes line of their era.
The Mercedes-Benz Type 300 (chassis codes W186, W188, and W189) were the company's largest and most-prestigious models throughout the 1950s. Analogous to today's S-Class, the Type 300 cars were elegant, powerful, exclusive, and expensive. The 300, 300b, 300c, and 300d touring cars were often referred to as Adenauers after Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. In office from 1949 to 1963, he employed six custom convertible, hardtop, and landaulet versions of this model during his tenure.It was the most expensive luxury car of its day, twice as much as the 300SL and American luxury cars of the day. Equally important, it was the model that returned Mercedes-Benz to its prewar international clientele. Hence this was a car of the rich and famous including the Aga Kahn, the Shah of Iran, King Gustav of Sewden, Frank Lloyd Wright, Gary Cooper, Yul Brenner, Maria Callas, Clark Gable & Bing Crosby.

Notice the brake rotors just exposed with the huge spacers used. I bet his wheel bearings don't last long. That sure screams for some tickets for an unsafe vehicle.

The Dodge truck guy must be a fan of open wheel racing. :rolleyes:

I think this was a fad in the mid to late 80s. Mini trucks with beds on hydraulics.

At Home With The World. This television set, retailing for $100, ($1,625 in today's money) is reportedly the first moderately priced receiver manufactured in quantity. Rose Clare Leonard watches the screen, which reproduces a 5×7 image, as she tunes in at the first public post-war showing at a New York department store, on August 24, 1945.

Not just "no" but ...

Very cool! Until we realize that these develop into invasive carnivorous plants, and they'd been sealed up in the jars by witches, sorcerers, and the greatest warriors!

The World's Oldest Bottle Of Wine Might Actually Be Safe To Drink
An unopened bottle of wine believed to be around 1,700 years old sits in the Historical Museum of the Palatinate in Speyer, Germany. Its contents look suspect, to say the least – but on a microbial scale, it might not actually make you ill, even if the texture made you sick to your stomach.
You’re not a true vintage connoisseur until you’ve tried a 1,700-year-aged grape.
