the dude driving it was in his 40's with a hot wifey/GF climbing over the seats to feed a baby in the backseat

It is a manufacturer plate. Wonder what he was doing up in that neck of the woods.

Nice ride.

Are manufacturer plates the same as dealer plates? Then the dealer is probably enjoying the S65 before it loses the rest of its value in the showroom after the new S is unveiled officially next week.

I wonder if it's possible to get a good deal on an S55 or S65 in the near future...

Who are the people driving these cars with MFR plates? Because there is a man who lives up the road from me and he drives all kinds of MB and he always has those plates on it. Usually he has an E320/350 like what I saw on my way home today..but about a year ago he was driving a Maybach 57. I have seen him in almost every model mb.

Those are executive cars sporting MFR plates. MFR is for manufacturer, 44 is series, and KC would be the two digit code for the series holder. It's either a DC car or a Bosch car (Bosch has a huge testing facility here in IL).

I have seen that car here in Chicago in person the night before the 2005 AutoShow. It is *** unreal. Beautiful car, and yes, it is a Designio.
