Mercedes C 124 - the old coupe is still on the move

Cars Mercedes brands are in demand in Russia. It all started in the Soviet Union. The first Mercedes appeared in the USSR in 1945. These were trophy cars imported by military officials. Of course, in small quantities, but at that time the Soviet driver learned that passenger cars could be comfortable. Mercedes became closer to the people in the second half of the 80s, with the beginning of "perestroika". Co-op members tried to bring in "Merin". This car is cool, especially the S-class model. But the E 123 was also a desirable purchase, not to mention the E 124. But alas, most could not afford even an Opel or a Ford. If they had enough for a VAZ, they were happy with that.

In the early 90s, few people in Russia knew that in addition to the sedan and station wagon, there were cars in the coupe. They met in different generations, but they were not in demand with us. In Germany, they wanted more for them, and for our drivers, the two-door was originally associated with the Zaporozhets. But aesthetes imported coupes in C 123 and C 124 bodies. These cars attracted attention both before and now. Yes, there are still single copies on the go. Some are even in good condition. About the "survivor" Mercedes C 124, the presenters of the channel "this is avby" will tell.
