I did that with my old '73 220D about twenty years ago.  I installed Vanagon
steel rims and chrome hubcaps and replaced the MB star on the hood and trunk
with Wolfsburg crests from early Beetles.  A Beetle horn button fit
perfectly in the steering wheel.  And then just to confuse all the more, I
added trunk script from an early Squareback, so it said Volkswagen on the
left and Variant on the right.  I used to love parking it downtown while I
sat in the coffee shop watching folks stop and scratch their heads.
