Supposedly, Brandywine Auto Center, the parent company, has been owned by the same family since 1927. I haven't spent a lot of time digging into their corporate history, though, but I know they own/control pretty much all the big salvage yards I've ever checked for parts in the 20+ years I've lived in this area.
There's another u-pull-it in Baltimore, Crazy Ray's, that I should check out sometime. They don't keep a lot inventory, though, and they only keep cars out there for 1-2 months before crushing them, so I don't expect they would have much vintage MB inventory.

I'm in the greater Washington, DC area, which is fairly affluent (overall, though there are still plenty of pockets of poverty) and supports multiple Mercedes-Benz dealers. There are a lot of MBs zooming around here, though older diesels have disappeared fast since about 2012, which was the peak of the greasecar/biodiesel fad around here. You still see a few for sale on Craigslist, but there used to be 10+ available at any given time. Prices for these cars have also dropped around here, but that could also be because the cars showing up for sale are really thrashed and/or rusted out.
