1961 Mercedes Benz 190, Harvard Square

You don't catch a lot of old metal on the streets of Cambridge, Mass. in the winter but there isn't much of a winter this year. Right now it's raining, there's not a speck of snow and it smells of ground, here in Radcliffe Yard. Feels like tulip time. And after last winter in Maine, that's all right with me. Mild weather brought out this Benz which, her owner assured me, spends most of the winter in a garage. Handsome car. Spent most of its life in California.
