Nice. LOVE the extra long ones with the three rows of seats. I could use that!

Wish someone would do the same with the 116.
Owning one of each (okay more than one of each) the W116 is just so much nicer
inside. Wider so the elbows don't hit the doors, longer and just rides nicer.

Not that the 300D isn't great, just different.

Stay warm out there everyone!

staggerlee,

fyi, i once owned a MB HEARSE (just like the ambulance except for being CHARCOAL GRAY & SILVER, with black diamond-tufted leather).

it was FUN to take to the sports car races & great to drive.

Interesting that most of the pictures show cars that do not have yellow foglight lenses.
