This is a one-owner car that has been professionally maintained and garaged since driven off the lot in 1974. It was purchased and maintained by Leo Payne Mercedes Benz of Denver Colorado. Eventually, Murray Motors Mercedes Benz of Colorado took over and maintained the car until 2001. It was used almost exclusively as a working day commuter in early life. In 2001, the car was handed down to the son as a wedding present. It was brought to Portland where it has been maintained exclusively by MBI Motors and Harold's Auto Service.
