2011 E350 Cabriolet..White and Almond Mocha
Sorry, don't know the MY. It was Black on Black and I really did not read the sticker...all I was looking at was the flares and their blend with the fenders. I assume it was an '08...?

I got about a dozen shots of Schumacher's GL 550. Who wants to make a slideshow of them? NJ? Consider them public domain.

Try again! I was having some storage space problems - I gotta stop leaving stuff on line when I don't need it! (Damnation but you're a fast one!)
BTW, I'd like 51 last, and 55 second-to-last on a slideshow. If you can get one done. And if you want 800x600 instead of 640x480, just say the word and I'll replace those.

BTW, in the shots that Steve took, it appears that the 550 leather looks nicer that the 450 leather. Am I right, or does it just look that way?

I didn't have time to ask to test drive it - I imagine as it's the first it'll be gone in a few days anyway. You've chosen one hell of a vehicle for yourself, my friend!

Thanks for the pics - they look great. Who is that cool guy I see in the reflection from the finely waxed GL 550? I think he's holding a camera?

I drove a GL550 yesterday (it was sold). Very powerful and sure to be a gas guzzler! It looks great and the 21"tire/AMG wheel are especially impressive. Only other things I noted were the add-on fender flares and the chrome strip at the door/windo sills....its looks nice. The grille is massive and the Star is oversized, in my opinion....looks larger in person.
There are several FL West Coast dealers that have GL550's on their lots (St. Pete, Clearwater, and Tampa.

Delivery Update
Guys,
Thanks for the wondeful intel and pictures. Can't wait to take delivery. I'm wondering, with all these 550s arriving has anyone received word of an earlier delivery?

Can't believe they let you drive one that was already sold... So much for it being a virgin

Very proud of my new avatar.... The GL550 is a "in your face" type of car... wouldn't everyone agree???
I agree it's not as subtle as the 320/450, it's much more identifiable as what it is.
