I saw my cars twin today!

[Hatterasguy]

All I can say is I am kind of in shock, and I think the other guy was to! I was never expecting to see another W126 done up like mine but I did!

I was coming back from school and I had just gotton off the highway and was sitting on Bridgeport av at a stop light. I look accross the intersection and I see a blue W126 with clear corners, my wheels, and chrome fender trim! I don't have the chrome trim but still 2 out of 3. I would have stopped and talked to the guy if it wasn't a main road. I think he was as surprised as me, we were both checking out each others cars. I didn't quite catch the rear badges I think it was a 420SEL but I am not sure.

I need to meet this guy now! I wonder if this is by chance or maybe he has seen my car before? It would be one heck of a coincidence,(sp?) I have never seen another W126 with Bello wheels.

I see a "twin" of my 300D near where I work. It's a much nicer one than mine, though. I've thought about stopping and leaving my name and number on the windshield and see if they'd sell.

I saw my car's ugly twin once. This car had weathered paint, rust, front grill broken. It was really sad.
Made me appreciate my car a lot more.

Hattie,

That's really cool. I am sure you did a double take.

I know that would be weird if I saw the twin of either of my benzes.......

My 300D is silver with blue interior and stock wheels, so I see twins of it running around all the time. What was really strange though was when RLeo bought that Euro 240D 5 speed. Those are rare like left handed fishooks to begin with, but this one was the exact same dark green color and had the same Euro lights and short bumpers and everything. Everything on the exterior matched except the wheels. This car lived about 10 miles away from me, but I had never seen it before.

I saw a 1983 300D that was the same color as mine. It also had the same chrome fender trim, although the wheels were not 15" chrome rims as mine, but had the 14" hubcaps that were unpainted, and they actually looked good without color. It didn't have tinted windows or a creme interior like mine either, but nice to see a car similar to mine.

I thought I saw my cars twin. But it went away as soon as I passed the office building with the mirrored glass!

I know what you mean about seeing the sad state some of these cars are in. Much like mine was when I first bought it and before I spent 3 days cleaning.

Believe me, mine is far from pristine but washing, waxing and vacuuming once in a while doesn't take much.
