But because Serial # for coupes and sedans ran sequential they couldn't tell me. They did say that with only 2138 made in 1991 it would be real close. In fact my car was not sold until July 1992.

MBUSA is the US distributor. The same people who will tell you the Audio 10 and APS 30 Satnav does not exist. The same people who kept cramming cassette players into S class cars until 2000 while the rest of world enjoyed in dash CD players and Nav units. The same people who probably don't know that the w126 really started production in 1979.
While extremely rare 94 model w126 sedans do exist. I have personally seen a 1992 model gray market w126 in the flesh.
Not all cars start and stop production at the same time in all places. The w220 was released in Europe earlier than here in the US and my 1999 w140 does not exist in any market except the USA. The same thing with 1979 and later w116 chassis cars.
