Wow that is one beautiful car.  I definitely aim to get a 280SE coupe as my next 'project'.

The extra details on this car are very complimentary to the vehicle

Alfred, I once had the pleasure of driving a 280SE 3.5 a few years back and I was hooked on the drive of the V8.

That being said, the 250SE. In the photo (is that your car?!) is stunning !! Whichever way I go I would be
A lucky man to have either the 250SE/280SE in my "stable"!

Regards

The other photo is nice as well...but keep in mind the one I posted was a custom car, as a coupe was never available with fintails.

Maybe our 108 280 3.5 would qualify as a coupe, two doors and a fixed roof.

Why not a 250SE?  ;)

That is absolutely gorgeous... Light Ivory and Black... Did the factory provide 2 tone options?

The first time I saw the fintail coupe above, it reminded me of a 1957 Chevy. Not necesarilly bad, but not as classy as the real MB coupe.
