Hilarious... the news reporter scribbled down 240D and it got interpreted as a "Mercedes 2400 Diesel" - by Merc standards, that's a 24 liter diesel... you could hook a tow strap to the Earth and pull it with that.
Oh, the caption: "The only weak link in the venerable Mercedes Diesel of the Eighties - the hood ornament." So far I'm voting for "Believe it or not" And is there a star on that hood that I can't see, or did they really not put one on it / it got broken off? Because... that's just... a Merc without its star (that's standing perfectly straight) is like a dog with no tail. Just doesn't look right. |

Thanks! Now if my 300td would only vote for itself not to leak!
I'm no sculptor, but I doubt a true-scale freestanding emblem like a hood star could be carved out of stone and have it last very long. They were pragmatic in not putting one on. |

classic Mercedes 123 limo. Rock solid suspension, transmission, mounts, heck everything is rock solid on this car. Pros - You will win in any wreck. Does not burn oil, or leak. bullet proof. Cons - Windows won't go down. Doors, hood, trunk won't open. Can't get it up on a lift. Air blows cold when cold and windy outside, but blows hot when hot and windy outside You will have to pick up and tow. Location = Graveyard parked

Mercedes engineer convicted of trying to pirate the Chevy motto "Like a Rock"
No one ever knew where that Chevy salesman came up with "Like a Rock" Until now. John's Diesel was still running strong after 1,000,000 miles, until he left it out of the garage for a little too long and it got petrified. Medusa knew that her life wouldn't be complete until she added this Limo to her collection.. Unfortunately it was mirror tinted.

You see? I told you they lost their immortality when you broke off their hood star!
