A million miles between 'em

Had a few fellow W123 owners come to town yesterday. We hung out, fiddled with the CLK wheels on the blue car some, and drove about 85 miles together. 'Twas a good time.
L to R:
'83 300D, last documented @ 364,000 KM in 2005 and has been daily'd since.
'82 300D, 310K
'85 300TD, 220K (particularly nice)
My '82 300CD, 167K.

I thought so, too! No 240's or gassers this time, though.

The Euro front tag is nice. Some don't know that front plates aren't required in many U.S. states, and you are allowed to put any tag you want there.

I liked that, too. Missouri (where my car came from) has front plates but KY doesn't so I'll probably find something to dress up the front eventually.
