Awesome!
There's a big show-n-shine like that up in Vancouver, British Columbia(Canada) in July I think. Was always gonna run up there when I lived in Washington. They do some kind of a rally,and end up at a park and have a big B-B-Q and all.

Having driven 1 or 2 of those W111 coupes, I can tell you that the doors are anything but short in reality. Search for a picture of one of these in profile view, you;ll see what I mean.

B

PS My favorite was the dark green Benz. is that a factory color? If so, what is it it called? reminds me of the color a w124 that somebody who used to post regularly had in his sig line. If I remember correctly somebody smacked his car, totaling it. His name was something Hat. Mark Hat? Tom Hat? Whatever. I sure liked the color of his car, too. Maybe I'll do what somebody suggested elsewhere and get a paint roller. Great DIY project.
Bruce Hat! Forest Green, IIRC and he said it was factory.

And t walgamuth, I knew it was you but didn't want to name you and start any poopie by accident. I thought that line of yours was great, though!

If it was a 6.3 you could run with them to!

I'd be happy with a W109... Black on Black with little german flags on the front fenders so it looks like a Diplomat car. with of course a big V-8

I wouldn't be terribly upset if a 280SE 3.5 cabriolet in that color combination was found in my garage.
