Benz in the Barn: Another Morning in Maine

 

Look what Basha Burwell came across, tucked away up in Maine.You might call them barn finds except they probably never were lost. Let's call the above a 1940 Chevrolet 3/4 ton pickup of the Wurlitzer era. And let's call the maroon thing a 1949 Mercedes-Benz 170. The most spectacular Benz we've posted lately was this 1954 Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet. And our favorite Chevy of this era was maybe this one in Colorado Springs.

And the other Benz...let's say a 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280? Kissing cousin with the 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280 we posted a while back.
