The 114/115 is still frowned on

I've been around long enough to remember when the 1968 Square Line
(114 / 115 body) Mercedes wasn't a real Mercedes. Everyone complained
that it didn't look like a Mercedes, that the grill wasn't tall
enough, etc, etc.
Then out came the redesigned 450SEL in 1972. What horrors! It
just wasn't a Mercedes anymore!
I think we call these "Non-Mercedes" classics today.
Which of todays Mercedes will be collectable in 20 - 30 years?
Thanks,

<<Is your 4 year old car a Benz? I'd love to hear about
it...does it have an integrated garage door opener?>.
Three integrated door openers, in fact. I use two.

Not needed on a small car like a C.

Pah!
<<Have you used the MB concierge service to order movie tickets or send
flowers to your wife (what do they charge for that? is
it a monthly fee or is it every time you call)...>>
Tele-Aid, standard in '01, not only has an annual fee after the first
year but a charge for every time it's used. It's now extra cost and I
won't buy it. If and when.
<<Does it have a talking GPS?>>
No, But my other car does.
<<Have you ever wrecked it off a cliff .......>>
Ask Striplin about that sort of thing.
