I’ve only ever seen about 20 others before, they are extremely rare. It isn’t rare for me though obviously... I just thought it would be interesting to put it there because CLs are quite rare
There are not many of them on the road anymore anyway. Besides, this thread is called “Nice, Rare, Weird, Expensive and Hilarious Cars You Saw Recently” A CL-Class fits into the nice, rare and expensive (or at least used to be expensive when it was new 11 years ago) categories.
I've seen a bunch of classic cars today, varying from a GTO Convertible and Oldsmobile 442 to a C3 Corvette Targa and white Wagoneer. I also identified a few old F-Series and 3 new GMC Acadias. ...and a smart fortwo.
I saw a new Corvette up close for the first time. I didn’t like them at first, but now they are starting to grow on me. I also saw a 1973 VW Beetle, and a foxbody Mustang, I think a 1986. Both needed a full paint job, but still not something you see everyday. I also saw a Rolls Royce SUV a few days ago.
