1982 300Sd Some guy painted his name on my car?? "Pierre"

This is not really a problem but more of a discovery.

On the back of the drunk lid at 5'Clock under the words "Turbo Diesel" there is a real tiny signature in yellow and it says "Pierre".

My car was signed at the factory??

There is no way I doubt somebody could sign his name this small but it looks real. No way I could.

Were these cars signed when they were painted at the factory?

I think my paint is original the way it looks.

Sort of cool too.

Wonder what Piere is doing now a days?

Thanks for anything you may know about this.

Steve

Is your car pinstriped? It might be his signature, those guys can write pretty small.

Thanks Craig,

I believe you figured it out!

I did not know this was done on cars at the factory at Mercedes.

Maybe mine was painted in France? Joking.

If I had to do it they would have to repaint the car!

Man it is so TINY, oops tiny.

Seems like original owner got all the Bling. Chrome over the wheel wells, etc.

That explains it. Been wondering a few years now.

Steve

If a German signed it I'd adopt his name for my car as allot of you have done but Pierre seems a bit wrong for a German car.

What do you guys think?

" Pierre' for a Benz?

My 240D has a pinstripe with a little logo painted at the back. I suspect the dealer or the owner had it done after the car was delivered.

LOL!!

I wonder it that was "our Pierre"? A Mercedes tech here in Central FL. He might have had his hands on that car at some point in time?

I can take a picture of my Pierre signature when it gets sunnie out, raining today.

You'll freak when you see how small it it.

I'm near sighted so I see well up close and even I have to look hard to even see it!!

Hey if the Florida expert on Mercedes is name Pierre I now have name for my BENZ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Help me out, can't be that hard to learn to post a picture.
