Metricman, are you saying that in the 123's and 126's MB ran a piece of coax cable from the glove box area to the trunk area for a "future spare"? I've never seen mention of it in any of the sales literature, or owner's manuals.

Did MB ever sell a CB radio or cell phone as options for these cars? (Something to look for in case I find one in a boneyard.) It'd be cool if the CB said "Mercedes-Benz" on it . I'm wondering what kind of cable it is (i.e., RG-58) and if it's for CB frequencies only, or cellular capable. I forget if cellular uses triax cable or regular coax.
