Has a TON of great articles - this is my first issue. Has a better article on the Popemobiles. MB Classic is a near must for most on this list, IMO. If you've never seen it, call MBUSA and order a current or back issue. It is really great. WAY better than STAR, at least for me as I am NOT interested in the latest AMG whatever. Chris

Pope Paul VI's awesome 600 Laundalet steals the show, of course and it now resides at the museum in Untertürkheim. Can't wait to see it in September. There is a great pic of Paul VI in a motorcade...his 600 followed by about 15 identical MB's - extremely cool picture. All technical specs of the cars in a table and the 460 Nürburg (1st given to Pope Pius XI) is the centerfold this month. Just before his election as Pope, Cardinal Ratzinger seemed to prefer a W126. :-) Read in a German Catholic newspaper that MB Italia recently donated a very nice Feuerzeug (fire truck) to the Vatican Fire Department. Had a nice pic of it too. Cool.

Between the rubber seal and the body is the most common -- what usually happens is rust begins to form under the seal lip. I've occasionally seen the seals dry out to the point where they'll leak between the seal and the glass, though. The correct fix is to remove the window and seal, fix any rust, and reinstall with new rubber. This is a common problem on any car that uses fixed glass with a pop-in rubber seal.
