>>13368102>why do they cost so damn muchBecause these old pompous automobiles were amoung the most expensive vehicles in the world in their day (especially Benzes..), and it will have been extremely costly to keep them (or bring them back) in top condition.. Also: Nobody makes stuff like that anymore, not even Mercedes Benz.
>picrelThis is perhaps the last time they went entirely all out, and just built the best they could build for the very happy few that can afford it. Dictators, mostly.
