Gorgeous car, looks like my 380. So many people complain about the big US Bumpers, and I am in agreement somewhat. In my opinion, black is the only color that can carry off the big bumpers because the black body color and rubber just meld into one. The chrome on the other parts of the car and the bottom of the hard top seem to add balance.
@davido3746 beware the chrome...they are an invitation to rust. I just purchased mine in August, and on Monday, I had my bodyshop remove them, and yesterday I finally washed the car and what was underneath was a build-up of crud, greasy stuff, and a bit of rust by install holes. However, the WORST was when they were installed, whoever did it jammed the rubber strip behind the body-style moulding near the front passenger wheel. The clip was broken, corroded and it left a gap to the end of the moulding which allowed crud to settle in and remain wet. UGHHH a quarter-size rust hole. I am setting an appointment to sort it out AND have them to check ALL of the mouldings to be sure nothing else is lurking. First of all, they just don't belong in this vehicle, 2nd, they can damage the vehicle. Mine is not the only one!

Beautiful car! Have to say, the magnet slapping the paint sent tiny little spikes through my brain. 😭😭
Gorgeous car...I have been thinking to get one to compliment my R129 300sl....mmmm.
Beautiful....beautiful.....💖💖😍😍😍😍👌👍
Nice!
Tabacco brown interior or palomino?
Beautiful. Even more so sans the chrome over the wheel wells.

@@ronalddean3630 thats a lot to deal with, and good for you in getting things back to factory appearance/condition.
