My uncle sold Mercedes Benz back back in the 60s 70s 80s. I am not sure about the years, but he retired from sales manager of a socal dealer in the early 80's I know that much.
Anyway, my point is, he used to rave about thier safety, and would tell me how they could be wrecked like that yet you could still open the doors. Well this is an amazing example and, not that I doubted him, confirms his stories.
Hmm, interesting, my '83 is from a dealer in Santa Barbara. Maybe he could have handled papers on a dealer trade or something. Surely the odds are good he had something to do with someone on this boards car...
