CE Cabrio [A124] would be the right denotation (at least until 1993). |

In the states this car was marketed as the 300 CE convertible '90-'93 which is the period of the car pictured. Starting in '94 they were named E 320. |

Part of Tom Cruise's character's perks that came with his hiring at the law firm. |

If this is a 1993 (like mine) then its rather unique. In fact, in terms of Mercedes Model SERIES designations, the 1992 and older 300CE is a series 124.061, whereas the 1993 is a series 124.066 (same as '94 and '95, but without the revised hood/grill/lights) according to Dr. Nils Beckmann of Mercedes-Benz Classic Product Archives in Stuttgart. And you don't argue about series numbers with Dr. Beckmann! So, the 1993 was hand-built by Karmann (who start by chopping the top off a factory-built coupe and then add over 2,000 parts and 500 pounds to the car) like the prior ones. But its on the revised chassis, which includes replacing the single-cam straight 6 of the 300 series with the twin-cam 3.2 litre straight 6 borrowed from the S-Class, complete with 24-valves with variable valve timing. Dr. Beckman also noted: "As the 1993 model year production ran from June of 1992 through May of 1993, the total global production figure for the 1993 300CE Cabrio was 1489 units. - Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Kind regards" I've heard that the US got 700 out of nearly 900 that came to North America. Mercedes of Canada said they only got 100 units, and it was the most expensive Mercedes model sold in North America in 1993. Here's an article about this model on Hemmings: Link to "www.hemmings.com" Starting in 1994 the convertibles were built on a Mercedes assembly line, in higher numbers, with fewer differences compared to the coupe. Still a fabulous car. Just not as rare. |
