    Did We Know This Factory Picture?

    It came from our Classic Mercedes Club. I have not seen it before.

    I wonder which year it might be? I do not know enough to determine... The type plate is early, but I am not sure when the change happened.

    I think I made my battery look (remotely) similar to the one in the picture.

    I see the net in the grille is silver, not black. I also see the headlights frames are black (the chrome rings not yet installed), I have not seen them black, I always saw them silver.

    Haven't seen that photo. The parking lamp lens would put it from some time in '56 to mid '58. It is nice to see confirmation of the heater clamp orientation and brake booster colors.

    Thank you for sharing this very interesting picture Pawel!

    It almost feels like time traveling to the Sindelfingen factory for just a brief moment......
