Hi all,
I'm sure this subject has been hit on a couple times, but I can't find a thread that will lead me in the right direction. I have several years and models of M-B cars that I need to work on and knowing the details about these cars and what to look for will help.

I am looking for chassis codes, (Wxxx) and engine codes (xxx.xxx) and I need to know where to look.

Here is a list of the cars as I identify them.
1967 250 SE Cabriolet
1953 220A Cabriolet (ponton site doesn't recognize a 1953 220A as having a cabriolet, my guess on numbers is W180, M180.921)
1986 500SL
1992 500E

The main reason I need to know is for maintenance reasons. Belts, hoses, oil & air filters. I would prefer to use parts from a dealer, or even OEM style parts. If someone wants to point fingers at a supplier it would also be greatly appreciated.

If VIN codes are required, I could have those next week.

Thanks in advance,

There is a web site for this but it is on my work computer and not this one. Its name is something like mbcosy.com or similar. I'm old and can't remember OK? Try MB Enthusiast for search words.
