Title: NGC - Unusual Mercedes commercial
Post by: ohiorider on August 21, 2021, 06:53:07 AM: If this commercial was used on US TV, I missed it. Apparently Bertha was not only Karl's wife, but his business partner as well.

MS Benz reminds me of MS Roebling. (no relation). When her husband passed she took over the engineering and construction of the Brooklyn Bridge; cable spinning, stone and concrete supports, et. al. R3~

Well it is a 16 year old motor, does not state the mileage but 16 years is a longer than most cars last on the road. Owning a V12 twin turbo Benz motor that old is not for the faint of heart.

I think he said 130K or 150K miles in the video. Never seen this guy before and was amazed at the light hearted attitude he had throughout this job.
