A few statistics about this gleaming example of the legendary Mercedes-Benz SL Class:
Twin-turbo three-liter V-6 under the hood.
362 horses.
369 pound-feet of torque.
Zero to sixty in under five seconds.
Top speed of 155 miles an hour.
It doesn't get much better than that.
The AMG version does, but it's even more expensive. ;-)
The Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class are a mid-size rear-wheel drive, four-seater luxury coupés and convertibles, produced by German car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz in two generations, respectively based on the W202 and W203 platforms of the C-Class. It was positioned below the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class and SL-Class, but above the SLK-Class. The CLK name derives from the German Coupé Leicht Kompakt (or Kurz), translated Coupé-Light-Short.

Most of the antique and classic cars had no connection to the veterans being honored or anything like that. The owners just wanted to drive them in the parade to show them off.
Like this '58 Mercedes-Benz SL Class.
Dude, there aren't many cars better than this to show off.

History:
The Class SL is a large deluxe roadster series from Mercedes-Benz, as SL stands for German “sport leicht”, meaning “sport light”.
Debuted in 1954 and maintaining production ever since, the SL Class has fulfilled five generations up to now, which lets us guess the unusual longevity of each one. As a car class, the SL consists on a set of several different engine displays that accomplish these five generations.
The SL 350 variant is powered by V6 engine, which churns out a power of 316 hp @ a peak torque of 360 Nm @ 4900 rpm.

To celebrate the finale of the 2022 Formula One season, Mercedes-AMG launched the SL 63 "Motorsport Collectors Edition," a roadster that mirrors the design of the AMG Formula One W13 E Performance car. This example, completing production on 3 July 2023, is one of just 100 produced. Its paint finish flows from High-Tech Silver Metallic to Obsidian Black Metallic, accented by a star pattern on the flanks and Petronas-colored details on the front apron, side skirts, diffuser, and the 21-inch AMG forged wheels in Matte Black with Petronas-colored rims.
Powering the SL 63 is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, delivering 577 PS at 5,500 rpm and 800 Nm of torque at 2,500 rpm, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. This enables astonishing straight-line pace: zero to 100 km/h in just 3.0 seconds, a quarter-mile sprint in 11.2 seconds at 200 km/h, and a manufacturer-claimed top speed in excess of 300 km/h.
Performance and style are elevated by the AMG Aerodynamics package, which integrates larger flics, an extended diffuser, and an active underbody profile to improve stability, downforce, and efficiency at speed. For added convenience, the front axle lift system is included with the package. Visual impact is further enhanced by the AMG Night and Night II packages, which add High-Gloss Black and Black-Chrome finishes to exterior details, along with darkened lighting units and black-painted brake calipers.
Inside, the cabin strikes a balance between sport and luxury, featuring AMG Performance seats upholstered in Black Nappa leather and Microcut microfiber with yellow stitching. Carbon-fiber trim and a heated AMG steering wheel with a carbon-fiber rim to reinforce its motorsport character. Standard features include Burmester 3D surround sound, ambient lighting, MBUX with Track Pace, a head-up display, and illuminated AMG door sills.
Once completed, the SL was sent to AutoTorino S.p.A., the official Mercedes-Benz dealer in Turin, Italy, where it was sold on 26 July. With a base price in excess of €170.000, the Motorsport Collectors Edition added nearly €75.000 to the base price, with the total invoiced price reaching nearly €250.000. Since then, the car has been used on a limited basis, covering just 1,254 kilometers at the time of cataloging. As a result of this limited use, the vehicle remains in fantastic condition today while offering a nearly new car experience. More than just an AMG-tuned SL, this car combines the best of the AMG with the heritage of the SL range to celebrate the triumphant 2022 Formula 1 season. With only 100 examples produced, it should be a welcome addition to any Mercedes or Formula One enthusiast's collection.

From the display:
"The coupe model of the 300L is also known as the "Gullwing" due to the doors that are hinged on the roof. The production model is based on the 1952 LeMans-winning 300SL (Super Light). This car illustrates the dual purpose of a car which could be sporty on the street or could be successfully raced at tracks like Watkins Glen."

In 1971, Mercedes-Benz announced the replacement of the SL Pagoda range: the new model would be known as the ‘R107’ and would combine ultimate comfort with the now essential safety features. The 280 SL version, which this model belongs to, heralded the return of the 6-cylinder engine and was unveiled to the public in mid-1974 to meet the demands of a clientele concerned about fuel consumption.
This model is a European version delivered in this elegant Astral Silver colour, which we can trace back to 1991 in the Hérault region. It then passed into the hands of an enthusiast in the Gard region, before returning to the Hérault in 2016 and joining the current owner’s collection. Today, it is in very satisfactory condition: the paintwork, which was redone many years ago, remains free of any notable defects, as does the original upholstery. It should be noted that the hard top is still present and in excellent condition.
Our test drive revealed no particular problems. In early 2024, nearly €4,000 were invested in a major overhaul; as the car has not been driven much since then, a routine service may be worth considering. Offered at a very attractive estimate, this 280 SL is now the perfect purchase for an aspiring collector looking to add a convertible to their garage that is just as comfortable in summer as it is in winter!

The SL Class of the 1970s and 1980s was a huge status symbol in America, and many remain on the road today. This '87 560SL was parked near the '96 Benz G wagon in the previous picture ion this photostream. I took this picture with my flip phone too.
