This is Monica Skurich's (from Poland, Ohio) 1987 Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3-16V. It is a modern era classic, with less than 2000 made, it was Mercedes way to showcase technology and racing/rallying ability in a special high performance model.

This is a 1971 Mach 1 Mustang. I bought this car as a demo in January of 1972. It had approx 5,000 miles on it an came with a full new car warranty for $2995 from Shivley Ford in downtime Niles. I've dated my girl friend, now wife in it. I have pictures of my son as a baby sitting behind the wheel, he is now a doctor with a family of his own. My grandson also had his picture taken behind the wheel as well. My Mach has been featured in national publications. I have kept this car 98% "factory", just the way it was in 1971. Presently it has approx 39,000 miles on it. It is my time capsule, whenever I take it for a spin, my gray hair disappears, life's troubles gets lost for a time and gas is $0.35 a gallon again! It's much cheaper therapy and way more fun! — Robert Macabobby
