Thanks for that info. Ill be looking out for the correct style. I'm pretty sure I saw one at the boneyard on a 77 W123 that looked the same as mine. My model year is uncertain. It is definitely between 1980 -1982. The dealer can't even tell me. I'll look up that part number. I have a sweet relationship with the dealer and they will help even if I don't purchase their part.
This car is a real mystery. Came from West Berlin. How it got here in 1982 is unknown for sure . I'm fairly sure, It was flown out of West Berlin to a West German port then boated to here.
