Ach so...but isn't a '63 190dc actually a Heckflosse body?

Years ago I outfitted my '73 220D with the rims and hubcaps off of my '82
Vanagon diesel.  Since they fit and looked so good, I then proceeded to
debadge all the MB logos and emblems, and replace them with VW
versions...even the horn badge on the steering wheel.  I had Wolfsburg
crests front and rear as well as a Type III Variant script on the trunk.
It got lots of double-takes
