My car was in the July/August The STAR, MBCA
« on: August 13, 2023, 17:15:12 »
Did anyone wonder whose Pagoda was on page 68 of the subject magazine?
It was mine !!! 
Two pictures of the car (interior and exterior) on page 68 and me and Bonnie (wife of 36 yrs) all the way on the right of the picture on page 70.
Also, I have been in one 300 SL in my life, fortunately, and it is the one pictured in the spread on pages 66 and 67. I've known the owner for many years and about 10 years ago he gave me a ride.
Looking forward to Chicago Pagodafest.

Well done Mark. Many years ago, I also had the privilege to  go for a drive in a 300SL.
