Some pretty cool photos in that album...this one caught my attention.



The difference of course being the Granada was cubed and melted down into a truck frame long ago while that SL is probably still being driven around.

I've never understood that marketing approach....they're essentially saying "A mercedes is amazing, but you can have a junky car that has a similar shape for way less $$!!"

The Benz probably STILL sells for more today used than the Granada did new. My sister had a Granada. I think it came from the factory already rusted . . . .
