Okay, who sent their 55 to Maaco?

I was just browsing Ebay and came across this waste. Poor car.

I doubt it was a celebrity. I would think that a celebrity would have enough money to pay them to paint the door jambs properly and reinstall all the missing pieces properly. Take a look at the picture of the rear door opened. Isnt there some stuff missing on the rear corner of the door, right where the window is?

In all honesty, they probably didn't notice or care... Personally I love the over spray within the door jams on to the rubber harness boots! They couldn't find someone to tape them up??? Very poorly done!

EDIT: Best part yet, this car has had 6 registered owners!!!!

You give MAACO too much credit, their work is worse than that.

Macco is too nice. This looks like a Earl Scheib job. I bet you see the factory paint around the inside of door gaskets, etc.

What's with the palm tree license plate frame in Chicago? Oh, it must be a left over from one of the five previous owners.

That's a really awful color on a Benz.

Maybe a Saleen Mustang but not a Mercedes.

I just wish it would go away already.
