Discussing all aspects of automobiles over 25 years old

I was wondering if anyone could answer a question for me.  My father
owned a 1962 Mercedes 220SE 2 Door, the body and interior is in very
good condition, it only has ~ 34,000 miles on it.  My father  passed
away in Feb of this year, and it is sitting in my mother’s garage.  We
are trying to determine how much the car is worth.  Would anyone know
approx. how much it is worth?  Or who I could contact to determine the
value.

Thanks for your time.

Not too smart I know, but I have gotten some fine welding spatters on the
interior of the windshield of my 1968 Skylark.  Three questions about removing
these.

1.  I see glass polishing kits in both J.C. Whitney and Eastwood catalogs.
Will
     this work to smooth down these spatters?

2.  The windshield has a tinted top portion.  Am I correct in assuming this
tint is
     between the layers of glass and would not be affected by polishing?

3.  If I have to replace the windshield.  Will a windshield from a 1968 Skylark
     Custom Sedan fit this 1968 Skylark Custom Convertible?

Many thanks for any advise,

Don

My friend has a front light from a Mack Truck. It’s not a headlight but
more like the lights they used on carriages.

Any ides where he could go to advertise or sell it?
