Hi everyone,
Here's some photos of my 01 CL55 AMG.
Our other car is a Porsche 928s.
(We joke that we only want cars named after letters and numbers!)

This AMG had only 22k miles on it when we purchased it back in '013! Carfax said it only had 200 miles a year, for 7 years in a row! (How could anyone do that?)
One of aprox.(I'm told) 303 built that year.
This is designo 'Desert Silver' . Probably most in black,white, and silver.
The wheels were replaced prior to my purchase with Lorinser rims.

We just love the long cruising capabilities.
With the seat heaters and massaging back and seat, after a long ride, I don't know if I drove it or dated it!

I've coated it

myself w/ McKees Glass and refresher.
It works fantastic but, now I don't have anything(much) to do to shine it.

Pat

I'm not really 10' tall. It just looks like it from the photo angle.




I had this made from the hood badge photo. Hand tufted in New Zealand wool and silk.
