I know you could get a 126 that had a place to chill your champaign. anyone got any pics of such equipment? or any other cars where MB was this classy.

I know Jim B. knows what I'm talking about he knows every option for the 126

Accomodations for drinking were not offered by Mercedes Benz, for the W126 series, because the engineers in Germany felt driving was a serious business, and no cupholders were even offered from the factory, for their cars, but many W126 tuners in Germany, like Carat Duchatelet, SGS (Styling Garage in Bremen), Lorinser, Braubus, MKG, Carlsson, and others, did.

AMG's one was a free standing refrigerator in the trunk, but some were actually in the cars.

These set ups were from "Benny S." ( a lesser known W126 Mercedes tuner in the early 80's - seen here on an early 500SEL
