WASP 101 Car Of The Moment: 1969 Mercedes Cabriolet 280 SE



This weekend, I watched the movie the "Hangover", and I was reminded of how much I like old Mercedes Benz. These rides are difficult to find these days, and especially in mint condition. Anyway, I would still like to own one very much, and who knows, maybe one day!

I once owned a 1972 280 coupe. Two tone tan and brown. Lord she was a beauty. Traded her in on a BMW. One of my less brilliant moves.

I think I would rather have that vintage Benz over a new one (well maybe a ML 350 Diesel for winter)!

WHOA !!! I L_O_V_E that car!!! We have a used Benz dealer here in Orlando, and every now and then he will have a real stunner on the lot.

Drooling on my keyboard man!

When my husband passed away we were left with his 1978 2 door Sedan. Lt. blue with white interior. I had to sell it, and I don't think about that often cause it brings too much regret. Love the grill on the vintage Mercedes.

Mercedes have always been my favorite. It's so nice I'm almost afraid to drive it out of fear of something happening to it!

What do you drive Dick Richards?

I shouldn't respond to you after calling me Dick, but I will!

I have two rides - Ford Expedition, Eddie Bauer Edition and a Ford Taurus X Wagon fully loaded.
