Other than this is a custom wagon and has the big 5 liter V8, why not just get the Mercedes 300TE or 300TD wagon? I have both the gas and diesel versions in my non running fleet.

BB, what do you think the tripod on the hood is for? A camera? Great old photos, btw.

That is a rear view mirror added, because at the Targa Florio, where the cars start at regular intervals, there might be somebody even faster than you coming up from behind.

And note they added a little underbody truss to keep it from buckling!
My dad at one time had a baby blue Ford wagon like the one pulling the Porsche. Wonder if that's my brother?!

No idea. It does look like Europe, but that truck didn't make it there from Kansas. Could it be Canadian Rockies?
