Heh...cool Merc
Last night I saw this cool M-B coupe on the side of the road for sale, so I had to stop and look at it.
It was a black 560SEC. What a neat car. There was no info on the car, so all I know is that it was black and had 148k miles on it. They were produced between '86 and '91, I see, but I have no idea what MY this example is. I should have written down the number so I could at least arrange a time to go drive the thing. Anyway, it was just cool. I have a soft spot for Benz.

Dude, I was confused as all hell. MERC= Mercury. Like a chop top 50s Merc. Benz= Mercedes benz. The world makes sense again.

I'm with Rob, I was thinking chopped 40's Mercury when I saw the title. But I knew what you were talking about as soon as I got into the post.
I love those cars! (Okay, pretty much any Benz, but especially coupes and convertibles. The 560 SEC (I think) played a pretty good part in the 80's Patrick Swayze movie 'Road House'. It's Swayze's character's car in the movie, he is some kind of high paid bouncer/drifter bad ass. At some point he gets pissed off on a quest for vengeance or whatever and gets in the Benz and heads out to the bad guys' house. I forget what happens, they shoot at him or something, but somehow the car ends up flipping and being destroyed in a big way.
