Re: The odors in the garage of these trucks (a brief rant)
So I have a garage with 3 vintage autos in it...my 72 MGB, a 76 Mini Cooper, and my 68 C10. The garage has a unique smell to it, not due to gas or anything I would consider as offensive. The garage has that same smell my grandparent's garage had back in the 70s/80s and they had a 70 Olds 98 and a 78 Ford F100. Very nostalgic.
As far as exhaust smell goes, when properly tuned, there really is not a smell, nothing that would burn your eyes or be considered a "stink". I love the smell of old vehicles! |

Re: The odors in the garage of these trucks (a brief rant)
My Dad had a grey '61 Mercedes 190B -- 4-on-tree, 1.9L L4, 4 Door.
Ran on Premium gas which cost 25 cents a gallon at the Arco station off the Hollywood Freeway. I learned manual shifting in that car.
