Touching story behind the build.... The owner owned this thing since it was brand new, and he was in his 80s.
His son wanted to restore his dad's car for him, but just a week before it was fully restored, the dad died. The dad did see the car before his demise - when they took pictures of it in fron of the house, they chatted up the good old times and he brought out a pile of yellowy B&W photos of the car when it was new, and pics of the years they spent together.
The Mercedes was not a museum piece, until they hauled it in for restoration, the father used it for every day get around... The Mercedes engine still starts at first try today.
"May the shininess of this black paint be seen from heaven".

i don't know anything about restorations but... wouldn't it be simpler/simpler to just media blast it instead of chemical strip?
