Wow so cool!

It was in Oakland when I bought it so it’s very possible!

I have noticed a disproportionately high number of C43s in San Fran over the years.

Its got the same radio sticker on the rear window. Not all c43s have that and red ones are super rare. maybe 30-40 total.

Thats crazy I was actually trying to find that house on google maps recently.

It was pretty easy to find. Once I found it, I went back in time with google maps and could not see that car there in any of the pics but there always seemed to be another benz or amg there. I figured whoever lived there was into mercedes cars.

I took a pic of another red c43 locally in 09. Ten years later I bought it and didn't even realize right away its the same car.
