E Class convertible??

Sid · 07-12-2006

Saw an E Class convertible on the freeway today. Older model body type. Didn't know they made them?? Or was I just seeing things?

Are you sure that it wasn't a CLK ?

The older E type body, circa 1997 or 1998, may have a cabriolet version (soft top).

could of been a custom job. I saw a shop in my area that does something of the sort

Had a E class badge. Looked pretty sweet. Sure it was it soft top though.

The E-Class cabriolet was only built on the 1985-1995 body (I believe it is the W124 chassis). The last one was built in 1995, as an E 320. In the movie "The Firm," Tom Cruise, as a newly-recruited attorney, was given one as a company car. I don't even get my parking paid by my employer!

*easty* · 07-13-2006

That is impressive. I had a search and found a sire you can see what cars in what movies and TV

E class

SLK

Be nice if it had video clips.

What's interesting is that the original car Tom Cruise's character received in the book "The Firm" was a BMW 318. This was "smartly" replaced with the Benz by the movie producers.

BMW 318's.. Mission impossible showed the world what there good for.
