[W126 Coupe] Water leak into trunk

[Jay Febish]

For the Fall gathering of the Gulf Coast Coupes, we're looking at  
Saturday, Oct. 24 at the Sarasota Classic Car Museum which is on the  
corner of University Parkway and U.S. 41 (Tamiami Trail) and is across  
the street from the famous Ringling Museum and Ca 'd Zan, John and  
Mabel Ringling's famous house on Sarasota Bay. The car museum has  
several of their '20s era cars. We'll get a discounted admission price  
of $6.50 per person. We could even do a lunch there if we have people  
confirming attendance. They can provide box lunches, soft drinks and  
even a cash bar if we'd like. I'm not sure what their minimum number  
of people is though. I'll try to find out when I volunteer there on  
Friday. There are plenty of motels close by for out of towners who  
want to make a weekend of it. All we need is a list of folks who will  
attend.
