| Smoking car
ROLLS-Royce,
move over. Mercedes Benz is coming out with a $250.000
limo,
the Maybach, aimed at stealing your customers. The car will have
luminescent fenders, reclining rear seats, a humidor, a bar. a pen set,
and even a drawer for your slippers. Some of the manufacturer's
execs brought a
prototype over from Germany to see what America's CEOs thought.
The Benz crew parked it in Coopers Classic Cars & Cigars on West 58th
Street and invited potential buyers in one at a time, one per hour, to
sit in the back and get comfortable with their favorite
single
malt scotch and a cigar. A psychologist was on hand to record their
impressions.
Coopers
owner
Elliot Cuker said, "This car does everything but make love
to you."
