For nostalgic reasons I am currently watching the 'Rockford Files' on TV. I am surprised by the huge number of W116 that co-star.
However, seems like these cars are usually driven by in some way bad guys.
The guy in the red 450 SEL jumps out and hits Jim directly in the face, as did another rogue in a recent episode who exited a light green SEL. All very well dressed but mean in mind.
So I assume that the blue SEL on the other pic is owned by some local mobster king?!

Mercedes 4 door passenger cars are always driven by baddies. It's one of the rules of film. Get with the programme!  8)

116 features nicely in Donnie Brasco, IMHO one of the best mob movies ever made along with Goodfellas and Casino.
