New S550 and S63 sightings :)
Just got back from a vacation to Monte Carlo the other day. Saw more of the new S550s then I could count (they were taxis for the show, as well as stocked at the dealer and several private ones). Even one lucky person with their new S63

The S63 seems to have license plates from Mercedes, so that would be an MB owned car

There were a number of labeled courtesy cars provided by MB (they had one of every model in the S lineup, hybrid, bluetech, 500, they were all black with big lables on the side) So its possible the 63 was also there from benz? but it was parked in a regular parking spot not at the show, my assumption was it was privately owned like so many other 500s

It's an assumption not knowledge, but Mercedes uses S-MB XXXX license plates for their photo shoots. This is a Stuttgart license plate (MB headquarters) and their company cars/floaters typically have Stuttgart plates.
So this could be of course a customer living in Stuttgart that bought the car, drove it down to Mont Carlo and didn't bother to to install the front license plate, leaving it on the dashboard which is not legal in Germany

Love the 63, but, couldn't help to admire the 1st pic, stunning in black, I wouldn't have it any other way. Beautiful car, the only problem I had with the dealers' silver demo car, was the mirrors seems a little bulky, but the black solve that problem.
