Mercedes Cab:Provincetown Mass.

I was up there for a whale watching cruise a few years ago and I had nearly forgotten about this. (And am a bit surprised that its never been discussed) When I was there I heard the normal clatter of a W123 diesel but was surprised when I turned around and saw all of the writing on it. Their website is down and I'm curious to know what else is in their fleet.

I road in the back of a MB (240d I think) cab on Block Island piloted by some fifteen-year-old in flip flops. Ah, for the lazy beach towns!

I used to live in P-Town as a kid, and my mom's office was next door to Mercedes Cab. I remember liking the friendly clatter even then. I was there last year and I saw a W124 cab in a parking lot, I think it was a euro model.
