I think its a status thing amoung MB owners. Their are those with emergency triangle's, and the other group without them.
I have one, so does that mean I have "status" too.

Were the triangles optional or standard equipment?

Oh yeah, nothing like status.

I don't think they were available on the cars originally sold in the USA. I got mine from a right hand drive 250. Most every non-euro I've seen has had option 639 (elimination of first-aid box and warning triangle), including my 240D and 300TD.

The triangles by law are not needed in the US, however other parts of the world require a triangle and first aid kit. My benz in Europe has both as well as the factory fire extinguisher under the driver's seat... which are required here by law. I have a triangle in my 560 back home and I also have a rare mercedes 7 liter reserve jerrycan which is designed to fit inside the wheel of the spare wheel.

Good find! I'm also looking for the ever-elusive wagon warning triangle that I'm also hoping to never use.

Also on that front, I've got a virgin spare tire/Bundt with the tags still on it. Not a scratch anywere to be found. I'm hoping I never have to pull it out either!

I also got one of those handy dandy cup holders that fit in the console on the 126's. I'm thinking I may trim it down to fit a 123 before I refinish it. .....burl ya know
