That's a neat bit of history!

Well worth the effort to get. That was HUGE money for a car, and yet they are still loaded with quality, safety, comfort and prestige today. Can't say that for many other sedans of that vintage.

Thats neat. How do you go about getting this and how much do they charge? Thanks in advance!

I called MBUSA Classic center (got their phone number from the MBUSA website, I think) and provided them with the vin (no charge). At the same time, I registered as the owner of said vehicle for their database. A few days later, voila! There it was, in the mail. I am considering ordering the "birth Certificate" they offer, but haven't decided if it is worth the asking price.

Anyone have one they can post a pic of?
