The Oldest Mercedes on the Road in SoCal?
686 views since 2007-10-15
We might just have found the oldest unrestored Mercedes still road-worthy. And we found it right here at Cars and Coffee in Irvine, California. It's a 1912 Mercedes 3795, with jaw-dropping brushed aluminium sides. It predates the merger of Mercedes with Benz by more than a decade! Approximately the size of the Gadsen Purchase, this rare horseless carriage could seat a rugby team, is chain-driven with a radiator the size of a ship's prow, and a four-cylinder racing motor. You gotta see this to believe it just as our very own Morgan Patrick did. She also had the chance to ask Mike Koontz of Mercedes Classics Center all about.
