Vehicle description

In addition to the eight-cylinder saloons and the dignified coupé, an open four-seater from Sindelfingen, internal designation A 124, appeared again in 1992 after a 21-year break.The technical basis of the Mercedes-Benz Cabriolet is the Coupé C 124, which was equipped with some additional sheet metal parts for strength reasons. In addition, there are plenty of reinforcements in the A-pillar and in the floor plate. Another highlight: the electric belt bringer in the short B-pillar stubs taken over from the S-Class Coupé makes it easier for front passengers to grip the belt tongue. In the course of the construction period, there is a significant turning point: From mid-1993, the star moved behind the radiator grille to the bonnet and at the rear from now on the "E" stands in front of the displacement number.
