My dad always had a Leica 35mm. We've got boxes and boxes of slides of family & his work. Some b&w, some in much later years are in color!
No reason you can't dream. You never know what you might come across. I worked with a woman back in the mid 80's that drove a boat of a MB. I said "That's my next car". So it wasn't exactly my next car, but I do have one now! :)

So I would look at National Geographics of the mid-50's, either at school, or the doctors office or my grandmothers house. At times I would look at them when no one was around and I could look in private, but that is not what this post is about.
It is about those wonderful, classy, black and white pictures of the mid-50's high buck Mercedes. There was the 220s, the 190SL, 300SL and those giant limos. Almost forgot that wonderful 220 cabriolet convertible.
Someone should have told me that I was never going to grow up and actually be able to own one of these cars, at least not until they were total pieces of junk. But I lived the better part of my life out with that hope seared in me by those damn National Geographics.
Don't get me started on the pictures of the Zenith Transoceanic radio's or all those great Leica 35mm.
I should have been more focused on the pictures of jungle life in Africa.
