1967 250SE Coupe
Owner states:
Hello, this is my 1967 250SE Coupe. I bought it in 1999 in San Jose California where it lived most of its life. I recently painted it to its current scheme (which is not orignal) and converted from the American style headlamps to European Style. Hope you like it!

Actually I do kinda like it, Eric. The red and white combo is nice, but the tires on the other fintail really set it off. Eric got the hubcaps correct but I didn't see anything posted about the car's original colors.
MB had wide whites as an option through MY 1964, then moved to narrow band whitewalls (or just blackwalls).

Japanese maker Tomica also issued a bustleback during the period, this brand is highly collected too, but will cost a lot less than the new example. This is from my collection (usually seen in gold, which I also have):
This is a small portion of some vintage and newer hot wheels, matchbox, yatmings, and majorettes I have. The rest are in rubbermaid bins in the closet.

Nice material there, I recognize several castings from my (and your) youth, especially on the top shelf.
Right now I have around 180 boxed Tomica, 260 boxed Matchbox, and a number of castings from other brands, along with loose Tomica and Matchbox. I have most of them in this little teak hutch, you can stack a big collection into a small space, something I like about these. I have bought just a couple models over the past couple years, but I've still held on to them:
What do you do for dedusting the cars on the open shelves? I try to spray hem with a keyboard air in a can deduster , or one of those swifter hand held things, and once in a while clean them by hand, one by one. My issue is too that my whole collection is in my garage, so they get a bit more dustier than if they were in the house.

This Captain Morgan Yesteryear Ford was my first ever. I got it almost 40 years ago when I was a young lad and still have it. Funny how booze and tobacco signage was normal on children's toys back then.

Long lost to time now. Probably paid $4 for it in 1985, could buy as many as I wanted for around that much now.
I bought this Hot Wheels El Camino (with a ramp made for a glider playset) at a sale for $40 a couple years ago. Sounds crazy, right? Sold it on ebay for $240:
