Beautiful Restored 1958 Mercedes Model 219.

In 2000 I completely stripped the car including the door jambs to bare white metal then primed it with 2 coats of DP 90 catalyzed epoxy primer then applied 3 coats of high build primer followed by 4 coats of base coat and finished up with 3 coats of clear coat. That's 12 coats of paint.

The chrome was redone by Art Brass in Seattle and cost almost $3000 for the bumpers door handles drivers and door mirror.

Their process is copper plating and polish repeatedly until smooth then the nickel plate then Chrome.

Art Brass in Seattle is well known for their excellence in restoring chrome for collector cars.

When I purchased the New OEM steering box from Mercedes I was told that I got the last one from the 5 Mercedes depots in the US.

The front suspension has all new Mercedes king pins, upper and lower pins.

The steering is perfect and has zero side play.

Red Leather upholstery.

Engine was rebuilt by Auto sport in Seattle, they are well known in the Seattle are for their ability to restore engines on antique cars..

Pistons were balanced on a gram scale.

It has .02 over pistons and .01 under rods and mains.

Upgraded oil pump used in the 220 engines.

Engine has sodium filled exhaust valves and hardened valve seats, so it runs just fine on unleaded gas.

Also has a Borla stainless steel exhaust system that extends from the engine all the way to the tailpipe.

This stainless steel exhaust will last a lifetime.

I have all of the original receipts.

Runs and drives just fine.

All original factory parts.

New OEM window and door gaskets, that's a thousand $ just for the gaskets.

Original spear light pads and lenses.

I also got the last available grill emblem, it's perfect as you can see in the photos.

Note the pictures of the undercarriage show the brand new Mercedes fender fasteners and gaskets.

Also note the condition of the headlight housing inside of both front fenders.

Even though there is a modern CD player in the dash, I have the original radio and it's related parts carefully stored so it would be easy to restore the dash to original.

There were only 27730 of these cars built over a period of 4 years.

After 50+ years I'm sure that few remain in excellent condition.

I have kept this car in my garage for the last 35 years, so if you're looking for a real nice quality car with no rust this is it.

Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.

Mercedes-Benz introduces new heavy security M-Class Guard model

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new addition to the company's line of personal security vehicles. The M-Class Guard features bullet-proof side windows made with special laminated glazing and a polycarbonate inner layer to protect occupants from shards of glass. Mercedes says the M-Class Guard meets protection level VR4 according to the Bullet Resistant Vehicles 2009 standards, based on testing from the independent Ulm-based Ballistics Bureau, which means it can withstand .357 Magnum and .44 fire from multiple angles. It can also stand up to the DM51 hand grenade when equipped with optional floor armoring. Why skimp?
Buyers looking for protection from the world's literal slings and arrows can opt for the ML350 BlueTEC with its 258 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. With 457 pound-feet of torque, the oil-burner should have no trouble hustling the privileged class about. Of course, the ML500 offers a bit more punch courtesy of a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Prices start at 105,050 euros for the diesel and 118,650 euros for the V8. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
