[W126 Coupe] 1991 560 SEC

[Carl Hansen]

Hey, I guess there's still hope for me then, I'm just a spring chicken at 70. Good for you Ronny, I like your attitude. Then again how can you not enjoy life if your ride is a M-B SEC.

Take car,

Carl.

  No sir, I will be soon 72 and still enjoy life. I hope I can beat my grandfather who when on his final journey at 105. After that they may put me in a black coffin car. I do not have to practice, because others will take care of me.

    No question about it, black is beautiful but like I said hard to keep clean and it get really hot in the sun.

      Hey I know that black might be your last ride, but if you go to the dealers....the largest inventory of cars is in black or silver. You might wanna practice for the last ride early. The 560SEC looks awesome in black, esp if it has well maintained and serviced.

      Regards,
      Joe
