Timeless Elegance: Jane’s 1958 Mercedes-Benz 219
They don’t make ‘em like they used to—and when Jane Riewaldt rolls up in her IVORY white 1958 Mercedes-Benz 219, the whole crowd takes notice.
From polished chrome to vintage curves, Gretchen isn’t just a car—she’s a showstopper with soul.
Our community is fueled by passionate enthusiasts who consistently show up, show off, and keep their vehicles looking their absolute best. We love seeing our clients’ cars at local events and fundraisers, and we’re proud to be the team behind some of the coolest rides in Omaha. Even more rewarding? Sharing their stories.
An audience favorite from our Instagram Story series “This OR That,” Jane’s classic Benz has been turning heads across Omaha. A recent winner at the Hooligans Car Club Show in September, Jane and Gretchen aren’t just shining on the show circuit—they’re making an impact beyond it.

We first met Gretchen over two years ago at our old shop on Main Street in Ralston. From that very first service appointment, it was clear: this wasn’t just another vintage car. Jane had a vision—and Gretchen had the personality to match. Since then, we’ve watched her transformation firsthand, from a quiet classic to a standout star.

Filling a unique niche in the city, Jane now rents out her vintage ride for weddings and photoshoots. From that first session in our Ralston shop to her most recent booking, Gretchen has proven herself to be both a natural model and a reliable workhorse. Check out the most recent shoot below!

But don’t let her elegance fool you—she’s got performance to match. At our track day and car show in August, Jane carefully took Gretchen for a spin on the I-29 Raceway, solidifying her status as a rare blend of luxury and reliability.
Thank you, Jane and Gretchen, for sharing your wins, your wheels, and your story with us. With every show, shoot, and spin around the track, you remind us: classics never go out of style.
