Maybe if Caleb offered him a preemptive $501 per vehicle and absorb the shipping costs he could acquire the entire Leno collection?

Re: [MBZ] wow. 1938 Mercedes-Benz,$12,000
I watched some recent vids the other day and yeah he’s getting a bit slower. I was wondering the same thing. He has quite a collection plus some amazing craftsmen in his restoration shop. I presume he’s got it all well-planned in his final instructions, what that might be is the question but I think of some sort of museum or something with cars that actually get used. Or I hope so anyway. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jan 7, 2022, at 1:11 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > He's getting old.

I watched some Jay Leno vids of old Benzes he has. Classic Center can get any part (for a price of course) but as he pointed out, where are you going to find some particular fittings for a 1938 (or whatever) Benz? Apparently some even pre-war stuff, I guess drawings and whatnot survived that adventure. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jan 7, 2022, at 10:36 AM, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes > wrote: > > Now that’s cool.
