The car parts deteriorate along with the chromed ones. The chrome starts peeling off after a certain time and looks awful. When this happens these are to be replaced or re-chromed. After some years the new replacements may not be available at company outlets. The next choice remain is the old car parts market, where trim pieces could be difficult to find. The last option left is to get these classic parts re-chromed to restore near original finish. This requires some efforts too.

In this article, we shall review the 1972 Mercedes Benz 280 SE 3.5 convertible. You might be wondering where the SE designation first appeared. Well, it first came out in 1958, on the Mercedes Benz, with the 220 SE. The E in the SE means ‘Einspritzung’ – meaning injection. In the year 1970, the new 3.5 liter V8 was found in the 280 SE 3.5 convertible – and this car could seat 5 passengers. The leather interiors and power windows, as well as reclining seats and air conditioning – were really quite impressive.
