Mercedes!

We have a pretty decent sized mall in Magdeburg called Allee Center and they almost always have some sort of exhibit in the isles. One time it was all these interactive physics puzzles. About a month ago, it was a Mercedes exhibit. I guess Mercedes was celebrating its 125th anniversary. There really were only about 4 cars but it was cool to see the progression of the models from 1954 to present. I really know nothing about cars so I guess you can just looks at the pictures now. Haha. I must say though. Isn't it funny that only really really old cars (say from 1954 or so) or brand new cars look cool. All the ones in between look really horrendous if you ask me. Take a look at the car from 1980 and you will see what I mean.
This one is from 1954. 
This one is from 1961. 
1970
1980 and see what I mean? This car is ugly but maybe we will look back on it in 20 more years and say, "Wow, look at that vintage car."
