Re: ^^The Great Mercedes-Benz W124 BUYERS GUIDE^^
Thanks a lot. I've always liked the W124, just one of the best cars ever produced.

Do you have anything about the C126? Just love that car...

It still looks so fresh. I much prefer this clean and quietly sophisticated design to what Mercedes is doing now.

In a way I agree with you.. The W124 was an orignal. MB is all about fashion now.


When I became an MB fan some time back I began to notice a lot of orignal ideas that the W124 was using, like the single front wiper-blade that covered
86% of the windshield. I began to wonder why MB left that idea with the later E-Class models.

Thanks for the amazing collection of articles.

Sigh! W124 (and the W126)...good old days...exactly how a Mercedes should have been.

Oh...if you have ever driven in a hugh rain storm, you would know why the single-blade was dropped. (As experienced in my W202).

He he, I have heard about that before .....but I love the single blade as an idea -- it seems so in keeping with the overall simplicity of the W124's character -- it is a very elegant car ....extremely well designed and engineered all round -- this is what a real Mercedes is all about for me.

Re: ^^The Great Mercedes-Benz W124 BUYERS GUIDE^^
Yes, the big and slow and inefficient single-wiper...Loves the way it moved. But was really not very useful when it rained a bit too much...

These cars were just fabulous.

I recently read that it wasn't a very efficient design overall. The reason Mercedes went with single wipers was for reducing drag (one wiper, less drag than two).

My dad's '89 500SL (R129) has this. Come to think of it I drove the car about a week ago in a heavy rainstorm and I just couldn't help but feel that the single wiper at max speed was "underpowered / overworked".
