Welcome indeed. You have a perfectly beautiful car. It must get attention every time you take it out, I'm sure.

Lovely car remember those in Germany in the 60's & 70's. Why is it still on a German Zoll export registration plate, or Tag as you call them?

Front plate is optional in CA, if I'm not mistaken

Front tag is optional in CA, if I'm not mistaken

they will cite you if you don't have one but so far so good
I keep the actual front plate in the car and post on the dash if I am parked in public.

They really are. I just love the design and the body lines
The plate was from my w113 - more of a touch than function
Very comfortable, enough power, oozes with wood, leather, and elegance and lots of class.
I think last of the hand built models.
I drive it as much as I can on weekdays and weekends.

I'm not sure whether you should park it in the garage or an art gallery..

I think an Art gallery, it is just so beautiful. Makes me go weak at the knees

Ah, right - I had a place in Fort Lauderdale, FL and as any [semi] native Floridian just assumed that, everywhere else is the same LOL
