***Attl Classic Car Show (Part II)***

[cawimmer430]

Here is Part II.

We begin with a W116 Mercedes-Benz S-Class which was made from 1972-1980. The car shown is a 280SE inline-6 with 185-horsepower. It was the entry-level W116 S-Class with fuel injection (the weakest W116 S-Class was the carburated 280S (160-hp)).

Next up, a rare little car originally made by the Dutch firm DAF. Volvo somehow bought the rights to produce their own version, the Volvo 66DL. The original DAF version, the DAF 44 was revolutionary for having an early "CVT" transmission. Despite a 34-hp 2-cylinder engine, the transmission worked well with the little motor and the DAF 44 was pretty agile.

Next up, a couple of Volkswagens. A Beetle with a dog guarding it!

I want one of these!

There was no badge on this late 1940s and early to mid 1950s Mercedes but from the premium look I am sure it's either a 170S or 170DS.

Mercedes-Benz 319 Truck

A couple of NSU Prinz's, some modified for racing...

Thanks again for the effort Christian!

Ultra cool! My father, along with two other friend of his, used to own one of these beauties (170S) when they were in univercity. It was a black one and i am still searching my father's archives for a pic of it. (I know there is a pic - i had seen it once)

Gosh, i hate those classics that were racing tuned. For example, the Panhard I'm working on has an extra oil radiator fitted in the engine, because the previous owner used the car to race and the standard cooling system was not enough. Believe me, it's a pain in the ass to remove it...
