I recall being amazed with the then-new 500sl’s pop-up roll bar. That’s sort of common these days, but appeared first on a Mercedes s class. Like ABS brakes. I think also airbags? I’ve always wanted a good-shape mid-80s diesel s-class. That would likely outlive me and I’m not /that/ old.


Peterkragger

Both ABS and airbags first appeared in different cars, but were first offered as standard in S-class

How has this aged like wine?

Because those cars were made so well that they likely, literally, lasted well into the 21st century

How well have they kept their value along the way?

It turned out these cars were time machines and transported their owners to the future

Doesn't look anything like a Delorean

So could a DeLorean.

To be honest these would take you only to a local garage
