RE: It's truly amazing...

Yep, these cars really attract the attention - especially when they are waxed and polished up.

Here in South Orange County, California, Mercedes are one of the more common cars on the road. It is not at all unusual for me to be out driving and to be surrounded by M-Bs - but the 126s still get the attention if they're clean and shiny. I get even more attention in my '89 560SL - especially with the top down. I KNOW its not me they're looking at, so it must be the Panzerwagen.

These cars are design landmarks - that's part of why their production runs were so long. The R/W107 SL was produced from 1971 to 1989; our 126s ran from 1981 to 1991. Few M-B models have had longer runs.
