I'm entering the cabriolet into the Lake Mirror Auto Festival and each car gets a pretty nice placard to display with it. I just whipped this up

"This imperial red E320 Cabriolet was a special gift by a pair of stranded motorists to Joe Gravelle. Joe went out of his way to assist the previous owners repair the car and get them on their way.
Given to him with 82,000 original miles it has now passed the 100k mark and is going strong.Powered by the Mercedes M104 straight six 3.2 liter, this Canadian spec cabriolet will give many pleasurable miles. "


I need to edit it for punctuation and grammar. It needs to stay between 50-75 words as well.

what do you think?

Looks good, but please tell me you're not going to show the car with those God awful ugly wheels on it.

I've got to polish them asap.

my only concern with stripping the paint and finding out what is underneath.

I think I can media blast them with walnut shell

Just save yourself the trouble and aggravation, and put those 8 holers back on.

This 1994 E320 Cabriolet in Imperial Red was a special gift by a pair of stranded motorists to Joe Gravelle in gratitude for assisting the previous owners repair the car when they were stranded.

Gifted to him at 82,000 original miles.

Powered by the Mercedes M104 straight six 3.2 liter engine, this body style is considered the last of the ultra reliable, "Cost no object" build quality, pre-computerized mid size Mercedes Benzes.
