....
how about a 123 coupe wagon /shooting break or a W126 wagon ?

Thumbs up Wagon Lust

I rather like the Sedan Delivery there , I love Commercials of all stripes .

The W-123 Shooting Brake , uh , not so much .

I don't cotton to W-126's but that wagon is SWEET ! .

The coupe wagon has possibilities.

The 126 wagon looks pretty cool too.

The sedan delivery looks a lot like a hearse to me.

Cool pics! I've always had a weak spot for Wagons. when I don't have one in the "stable" I always hanker for one. (like now).

Exclamation BEWARE The Wagon Lust !

Wagons , or better yet Sedan Deliveries and Hearses , are just wonderful vehicles ~ however , unless you're extra careful , you'll wind up using them as the Commercial Vehicles they were designed to be and rapid wear will result , meaning not so pretty in short order .

This is why the Euro Spec. W-123 Wagon I built for SWMBO , isn't allowed daily driver status for me ~ she can , I won't touch it because I've ruined many a classic by working it like a truck .

My 1980 Cadillac S & S Hearse is a perfect example of this ~ I saved it from the crusher and now my brother is working it as his shop truck . it'll never be the cherry I want to re build it into .

At least he doesn't get it all greasy like I would .

i jusT learned how they got a flat floor. The rear shocks must be special short versions because the shock tubes have been cut off short as has the filler hole.
