As you may remember, back in June we brought word that Mercedes may be working on a potential convertible version of its illustrious S-Class; a story that at the time lacked any factual basis and was quite simply nothing more than conjecture.

That's why when the story crept up again, this time on Car and Driver, we gave little weight to the subject and quickly dismissed it, waiting for a bit more substantial proof, i.e., spy shots, leaked corporate memo, so on and so forth.

But as days passed, reader tips directing us to the story kept trickling in, eventually motivating me to run the story once again for any of you that missed our earlier post on the subject.

So ladies and gentlemen, a story that I should have run days ago, Mercedes may be working on a S-Class convertible, so says Car and Driver. Little is know at this time, but if it is currently in development stages, expect a possible introduction at the Detroit Auto Show this January.

And to myself, shame shame on me for not running the story when I should have.  It won't happen again, I promise.

For more info, head over to Car and Driver for their full story (which doesn't state anything not already covered above), and you can also view the NSFW version of the magazine's Mercedes S-Class convertible rendering below.

P.S.  Thanks to each and every one of you who took a moment to send me this story; I greatly appreciate it.
