I am glad to read that there are other people who see their cars as I do.

free2keun,

She is and will always be "Timeless" due to the fine work done way back then by Paul Bracq ... he not only worked as a designer he is also a great Artist.

Cars from today when you compare them (Make to Make) all seam to look the same, our Pagodas are in a class by themselves a truly timeless automobile. Mine will be 50 years young in December.

I have never seen a 1963 w113......I knew they existed.  I note it has "230" only on the trunk lid.
I have a 1964 it was built in May 1964 .....it has 230SL on the trunk lid.
I often say as does Dieter does..............a TIMELESS DESIGN
