Craig's Picture of the Day

560 SEL
Last Thursday evening, picked up this beauty on a total impulse buy.
Saw it, drove it, bought it. No real inspection,
bought it on Mercedes reputation alone.
She's a 1990 Mercedes Benz 560 SEL (aka W126), top of the line baby!
Will I be stylin' or what!
This is just what I've been missing all these years, headlamps with wipers. Who's got time these days to go out, get a factory rag, get the factory cleanser, find yer knee pads, and scrub the headlights. Appearently I don't.
This here is the M117 engine. Sure it's a monster
but I need it to get the 3700 pounds around town.
186,702 miles. On any other car, I'd cringe at the thought.
With the 560SEL, why that's just broke in.
Full electric seats with memory and heat, the headrests are electric.
Get this, even the rear seats recline.
My first Benz, I rode in one once, own one now.
See ya!
