We’ve had an unexpected snowy morning this Saturday. It had turned to rain by the time I got out, but I did photograph a familiar fintail Mercedes. This guy has quite the collection stored inside the building. I am always amused that people think it is an authentic gas station; the building was actually built under some mysterious circumstances by an (presumed) hoarder before this guy bought it.
Of all the things to ogle at about this Jaguar XK, I just can’t get over that beautiful chromed curve of the B pillar. Stunning.
Quick! How many Lexus IS series do you see in this photo?
I am not a huge fan of the second generation Mini Clubman, but boy does this (automatic) one look good in green!
Speaking of Minis, when is the last time you saw a Paceman? I actually don’t recall ever seeing one on the road. Imagine this in that stunning green color!

Haha, if only I had seen this like 2 days earlier. I am a fool and a buffoon.
Speaking of buffoons, someone drove their AMG G63 to church.

Interesting fintail, appears to be an early car. Nice that they got the two toning correct (hubcaps match roof).
Regarding the G, what would Jesus drive? Probably not that.

I was thinking of you actually. The wheels and tires on it are actually just so so small it is mind boggling. I’ve never seen him drive it, though I am sure it works. This is actually his only Mercedes that is not black or dark blue though he owns at least 7 of them.

Yeah these generally have 13" wheels, I like to joke that I need to be careful or I’ll get stuck in a pothole. I’ve always imagined they did it to make the car look bigger. 15" wheels could be specified, but are generally only seen on cars with special bodywork. Blackwalls seem to accentuate it, I think the wheels/tires appear larger with whitewalls.
This car appears to be a 220S or 220SE no later than 1962, I have little doubt it runs or could with little work, they are robust.
