MOPAR - Move Over Power Arriving Rapidly

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My Mopar upon you

I think the windows and seats are hydraulic as well. Don't make a sound when they go up and down (the windows). :lol:

I snapped a Pullman at Mercedes World a couple of weeks ago. Awesome car. Liked them from when I had Corgi model as a kid. The wipers moved as you pushed it along 8-)
