63,117 Mile One Family Owner(s). 1st Owner 34 years until passing. The Vehicle spent it's entire life in semi arid Colorado and was used for Sunday brunches and special occasions only, weather permitting. Kept in a heated garage when not in use and has NEVER spent a night outside nor was it ever smoked in.

Performs as a well maintained 63K mile Mercedes vehicle should with everything operational to include the clock. Climate Control blows cold on demand.
Vehicle is 100% near flawless and original except for mechanical wear items and a Mercedes warranty paint job in 1980 for two stage checking (very common problem for Mercedes of that era with metallic paint) The paint job has endured well with no flaws or fading and excellent luster. There are (2) 1" light scratches that have been touched up - no chips or other flaws. NEVER any body metal damage. The undercarriage shows as a 3 year old car would.
The engine compartment and hood under padding are totally original and have never been cleaned. There is no evidence of improper parts or repairs.
The trunk compartment is totally original with the jack having never been used. The supple rubber mat and carpeting are original and flawless. The spare is a full size Alloy wheel with a new Michelin. There are no signs of surface rust or staining. (picture shows what appears to be rust staining - it is not but rather upholstery cement or ?) The trunk has never been cleaned other than by vacuum.
The 100% Original Interior Leather, Vinyl panels, Wood, Headliner, Bright Metal parts, Sun visors and Carpeting are flawless. The leather is supple with no wear marks or scuffs. The seat rolls and seams are intact.
I am the son in law of the original owner. After his passing, I had the vehicle shipped to NJ and had the following work done prior to offering it for sale: Safety items checked - All mechanical and accessories checked for proper operation - Fluids changed - All filters changed - Rubber fuel lines and fuel pump replaced - 5 New Michelin tires in the proper size - New battery & a wax job. The vehicle did not really need most of the aforementioned but I wanted nothing to apologize for.
CARFAX has no history of the vehicle due to it's age. Sophisticated scrutiny will verify all representations.
This vehicle can be driven anywhere with complete confidence. If you elect to fly and drive, I will provide transportation from Newark (EWR) Airport.

Smart brand will be built in China as a Daimler-Geely joint
Thu, Mar 28 2019FRANKFURT/BEIJING — Daimler will build its next generation of Smart electric cars in China through a joint venture with Geely, as a way to increase economies of scale in a market segment that is struggling to turn a profit. China's Geely built a stake of almost 10 percent in Daimler last year, saying it wanted to forge an alliance to develop electric and self-driving cars to better compete against new challengers such as Uber and Google. Daimler said on Thursday it would build the next generation of Smart-branded city cars at a purpose-built factory in China, and planned to share its expertise in manufacturing, engineering and design with Geely. The high cost of electric car batteries has made it hard for automakers to build affordable zero-emissions vehicles, leading several of them to strike alliances with Chinese partners. Daimler's German rival BMW recently unveiled plans to build electric Minis in China, where production costs are low and demand for small electric cars is rising. Daimler and Geely did not disclose financial terms of their deal. The details of the joint venture will be finalized by the end of 2019, they said in a joint press release. Daimler currently develops and builds Smart cars with Renault at factories in France and Slovenia. The Daimler factory in Hambach, France, will be retooled to build Mercedes-Benz cars. Geely has been expanding rapidly through mergers and acquisitions since 2010, when it acquired Swedish carmaker Volvo from Ford. Last year, Daimler and Geely set up a ride-hailing joint venture in China. Daimler's Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche said last month the German carmaker was in talks to deepen its alliance with Geely after the Chinese's group's chairman Li Shufu bought a 9.69 percent stake in Daimler in 2018.
2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
