Love Mercedes campaign at MB USA

[TA250SL]

There is an advertising campaign at www.mbusa.com featuring 72 MB cars and owners, including a couple of 113's.  Just wondering if they are SL113.org members?

I have also seen this on TV.  There is a red Pagoda with black hard top near the end of the commercial.

Looks like that red/black one is the one that Dorian had as car of the month recently

The hardtop has a sunroof and also a ski rack with period skis on it

Same thread is over there

Well, I don't know if the W113's featured are members here, but it sure looks like MBUSA took a hint from our running initiative with the Pagoda Poster. We're slowly but surely getting there on the 40-pics, and I am attaching a few examples of photos I have been receiving. Difficult to make a selection because they are all great!

I am holding on to about 250 emails with all the contributors - thanks to all who have and are going out of their way to send me their photos. This evening I will be meeting with a graphics designer to ask him to collate it all into The Best Pagoda Poster Ever!

The advertising agency contacted presidents of MBCA sections to solicite pictures.  I worked with them with some of my own pictures and pictures from the 190SLGroup.com web site (I am a webmaster).  They received release authorization for the use of four pictures and one those pictures made the final cut.  The owner of the blue 190SL is Bill Ainsworth, a Group member who lives in California.  It was a very interesting process to be involved with.
