Around 1973~4 in a suburb of Philadelphia I had a neighbor who had a 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190D. On a business trip in the very early 1960's he bought it in Germany and a few years later, drove it to Stockholm Sweden.
Had it shipped to the USA 1966~7 along with his new wife and infant son.
<both from Sweden>
4 cylinder, 4 speed on the tree. Drove it acouple of times, slow in 1st.
Died of rust 1976.
Replaced with a '76 P-Something diesel station wagon.
Had a friend in the very early 1980's that had the Oldsmobile sedan and he said "it needs alot of oil changes".
Twin brother had a VW Diesel Jetta, 2000. I road in it once.
We have at work a Ford F-550 2 door TurboDiesel that was "hot-rodded" Chipped, twin turbos, straight thru exhaust. No need for DEF.
