    There's a reason why we drive exclusively MB vehicles.

    It's not just the exterior damage but the lack of padded steering wheels, dash, plate glass, and no air bags that make old cars a death trap.

    MB has a history of not relying on those crash tests, but instead, their own of many thousands of vehicles. Unlike BMW -where performance is #1 - safety has always been the highest priority for MB. They will continue to be in our stable.

    Go over to European Car Parts on Eckert @ Bandera. Go look at the wrecked cars there. Then tell me you would rather ride a Malibu into that scenario over a MB. Or the Malibu over a Saab, BTW.

    I'd go with the 59 Bel Air. Its most likely to be constructed out of steel and iron instead of aluminum alloys.
