old flatheads run after an EMP too. Anything with a generator instead of an alternator will generally run after an EMP. Old mechanical stuff works great.

A Mercedes is too flashy for Beverly Hills, eh?

What's with the antenna thingy mounted on the front bumper?

Before install:



During:



It's called a "parking pole" and while it's an official Mercedes Benz accessory, and quite rare, it was ONLY ever sold in Japan, and for the W124 and W126 models only.

Here is one of them on a 560SEC Mercedes in Japan that was for sale at a used car dealer in Yokohama last year.



Left hand drive Mercedes Benz cars were a VERY coveted and prestigious vehicle to own in right hand drive Japan, and some cars there over had them.

They do EXACTLY what you think they do; helps you find the front of the car at a glance when you park.

There were TWO models, that were available the one like mine and an identical one, with a plastic tristar on the top that lit up at night!

Very cool, *but* it had rubber wire running down the side, and after some years it got yellowed and did not look so good. (not cool)


They are worth about $300-$400 if you can even find one - but I got it for free, from a kind Member of benzworld in Atlanta, who responded to a respecful request.

Thanks for asking. People who see it always look puzzled and often ask me about it on the street.

Say what you want, but it is very hard to beat German engineering and craftsman's ship. There is a certain quality with BMW's and Mercedes that is not present in any other car, and I have to admit I am in love with. When I finish collage I WILL have a BMW daily driver.

Buddy of mine has a 1987 190D. It's the baby Benz, and according to Mercedes, it's the most overengineered car they ever made. The diesel 2.5 inline 5 has 93hp new, but will get 40 MPG with the A/C on.

One of the biggest things I like about this car is the orthopedic seats, which are adjustable in like 17 ways, and I also like the fact that the steering wheel is huge. This means that your arms are at shoulder width apart when you drive, which reduces driver fatigue.
