Tough. Very, very tough.

Gosh this looks good. We’re not so sure we could rock the gold AMG Penta wheels (even if they are period-correct), but the rest of the car is totally on point— probably the toughest-looking W123 we’ve ever seen, wagon or otherwise.

The closest the US ever got to the top-of-the-line 280TE was the neutered 280CE, by the way. Which should surprise nobody.

I want one, gold wheels and all, though it’s a bit hearst-like. What color is it? Really dark burgundy?

Man, pick the kids up at school in that one, and all the single MILFs will be leaving you phone numbers under the wiper blade.
