Title: Bracq 190 SL
Post by: thelews on August 08, 2016, 12:00:16

For those fans of Paul Bracq, here is a 190 SL offered in Monterey with his blessing and "personalization."  Too bad it's so wrong (from an originality point of view) on so many levels.  The 113 crowd here would be screaming if it was a Pagoda.

Remember John, for everyone screaming at originality on the Pagoda and picking these cars apart when one comes to auction, we have folks here also, that retrofit new radios, that jerry-rig aftermarket fuel pumps, alter the dash-wood, create elaborate parcel trays out of wood, remove factory-installed parts such as bumper over-riders, add the 123 ignition and so much more... ;)
