Hard Times In Cottage City . . .

[Sealy]

Actually, that's Hard Top Time.
These were all convertibles this morning. My SO keeps a list and schedules - When I got up, I was told it was time - there would be no more top-down weather until spring.
As a rating review - The easiest is the 230SL - 4 mounting points, 4 built-in levers. Next is the Bird - 4 mounting points and the T-handled driver. Last is the 560SL - 5 mounting points: center rear locks from a central multi-function lever, the other 4 have a special lever tool that gets inserted into a slot. German over-engineering at its best. Weight is about the same - maybe a little more for the steel Germans, but the T-Bird is bigger.
The other two convertibles (Rambler and Mercedes) did not make the picture - they're just softies.

Great line up Sealy. Love that 230, it's one of my favourite classics.

Love the picture! What color are the Rambler and other Mercedes?

Re: Hard Times In Cottage City . . .

Thanks, all. My SO is hung up on the Germans, I lean to the US of A. I will admit to a fondness for the 230SL, however.

Love the picture! What color are the Rambler and other Mercedes?

Take a wild guess. I'll give you a hint: The Rambler is Rampart ___ and the Mercedes is Storm ___.

I don't think I needed the hints~! :) I do admire and concur with your choices.

Re: Hard Times In Cottage City . . .

very nice color line-up. for some reason the 230SL brings back memories of a neighbor and his SL. George had to teach him how to drive it. I don't think he ever had had it over 40mph. Was afraid to shift the gears or something.
