Mercedes-Benz "Classic Center" still has parts for all their cars, at least the post-war cars.
Not to say that it might not be cheaper to make your own in some cases if you already have the means and skill to do it.
- WalterBright 9y agoMaybe they do now. That fellow had restored his in the 1970's. Or at least with the internet it is a lot easier to find someone stocking old parts. Jay Leno's Garage employs machinists to make unavailable parts. Most car companies start to shut off making parts for cars older than 10 years.
- sokoloff 9y agoMy family restored (to good driver condition) a '59 220S (just sold); our experience was that not every minor cosmetic or interior part was available at Classic Center. Mechanical and functional part availability is excellent, pricing reasonable, and the staff there is top-notch, but they don't have everything.
