PS My favorite was the dark green Benz. is that a factory color? If so, what is it it called? reminds me of the color a w124 that somebody who used to post regularly had in his sig line. If I remember correctly somebody smacked his car, totaling it. His name was something Hat. Mark Hat? Tom Hat? Whatever. I sure liked the color of his car, too. Maybe I'll do what somebody suggested elsewhere and get a paint roller. Great DIY project.

"Miracle on Ice"
That's a statue of Herb Brooks. Coach of the US Olympic hockey team in 1980. The big cold war game, US vs the Commies:

Brooks is a hockey legend and local hero (St. Paul, MN, ditto car show), died in a car accident about 4 yrs ago.
The green Merc is a 280se low grill. At least I think that was the model designation, no pics of the rear. Not sure if that's a factory color, but it looked to be unrestored. One of my favorite old Mercs.
