I tried a few different dealers and they all said the same thing. The parts are no longer available and there is no stock anywhere. Besides, we couldn't sell it to you anyway.
They would probably tell the body shop what they told me. Call the Mercedes Customer Assistance Center and they will send you a letter that states that the car is compliant with the emissions regulations. I did that. The letter they sent was practically useless.
This is the body of the email they sent me:
Subject: Model: 500 SL
VIN: WDBFA66E8MF015697
Dear Mr. Edward Martin,
Thank you for your recent contact to the Mercedes-Benz USA, Customer Assistance Center.
This is to confirm that the above vehicle was produced on 7/9/1990, as a 1991 model year vehicle, and was manufactured in conformity with all U.S. DOT Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards in effect at the time.
We hope you find this information useful. Best wishes for safe and pleasant driving.
Sincerely,
Nursen K

So, I'd really appreciate it if someone with a 1991 California 500SL could simply send me a few closeup pictures of those stickers.
