Saw one today for the first time. Absoilutley stunning car with damn near perfect lines. Never knew they made them in coupe form.
How rare?

'95 S500C, '96 C36, '86 190E, '72 280SEL
The W140 went through a few name changes in its time. First the coupe was a 500SEC, then the S500, and finally the CL500. To minimize confusion, the S500 is also referred to as a S500C. The front end made them particularly striking.

CL600
To add to the naming confusion, my title says I own a '95 S600 CL.
A very rare sight, at least in this corner of the world. According to our "DMV", less than 50 were ever sold. Probably due to the insane import tax they slapped on it.
This is still my favorite, and will be around for a long, long time, even as I keep trading the newer ones away regularly.
Edit: Maybe one of the fellow W140 owners passing by this thread could enlighten me on this: https://mbworld.org/forums/3500758-post14.html - I dare not open a new one just yet.
