While I was in Köln or Cologne as it’s called in English like the fragrance, for an weekend back in 2012, I randomly came across a vintage car show in the streets outside an art museum. I came across some really nice classic Mercedes that showed up. Worth mentioning is that all these cars came here driving and left driving, and even if they were shiny and clean you could see they are used to be driven, totally my motto with old cars. The paint does not have to be perfect as long as the car is in good condition to be driven. Cars should be driven and not standing collecting dust in a garage!
I made a short video of various cars and explore in more detail in the images under.
Over to the images, mostly Mercedes Benz.
W112 300SEW186 300 Adenauer cabriolet, quite rare and expensive.W108The R107, always wanted one of these
Oh and lets not forget the W123s!
W123 CoupeW123 Sedan, interesting green moss colour, not my preference in colour choices123 wagon, diesel powerW112. Look closely and you will see a w123 wagon tooLook at all that leather!The pagoda, I think it is overpriced compared to the R107 which is much better in performace and handlingFintail and pagoda side by side
And since this a web page about cars, lets look at some of the other cool vintage cars at the show!

Smallest car on the show!BMW E3Porsche 914, very disliked by many, but loved by a few, I think it looks appealing from behind
