W198
For many, this is the first true supercar. Originally, it was a pure racing car - type name SLR - of which only 10 were built in 1952. Between 1955 and 1957, 1.400 Gullwings were produced : it was the first production car with fuel injection. A key feature was its extremely rigid construction thanks to a tubular chassis. What captures the imagination most are the gullwing doors, which inspired many nicknames. 29 ex. with aluminum bodywork were also built, resulting in a weight saving of 158 kg. The 300 SL has long been a benchmark in classic car valuation, somewhat like the gold standard.

W198 II
In 1957, the 300 SL Gullwing was replaced by the Roadster. Like its predecessor, it was created at the initiative of American importer Max Hoffman. It received an entirely new tubular chassis with lower sills, allowing the installation of conventional doors. The mechanical components remained largely unchanged, but the rear swing axles were replaced by an independent De Dion rear axle, providing smoother suspension and more reliable handling for everyday use. From 1961 onward, the front drum brakes were replaced with disc brakes, and toward the end of production the cast-iron block was replaced by an aluminum one. A stylish hardtop was available as a factory option. Production ended in 1963, with a total of 1.858 roadsters built.

This red Mercedes SL convertible is clearly of fifties vintage. It looks like a restoration project.
If you thought I took this at C&G Auto Tech in Caldwell, New Jersey, you'd be half right. This car was actually at Precision Motors in Caldwell, half a block to the west. :-)

W121
Produced from 1953 to 1963, a total of 25.881 units were built. As early as 1953, development began on an open version of the 180 Ponton sedan. The 190 SL is therefore technically based on the so-called "Ponton Model". It was available only with a 1,9-litre 4 in-line petrol engine equipped with twin carburetors. It was introduced at roughly the same time as the 300 SL Gullwing. It shared some styling features and was intended to be an affordable version of the exclusive sports car. For this reason, Daimler-Benz described it in its brochures as a "touring car" rather than a sports car. In 1963, it was succeeded by the "Pagoda" (W113).

Here's a Mercedes Americans - especially Americans who lived through the sixties - would easily recognize. :-)
The second-generation SL Class was produced between 1963 and 1971 and was powered by inline sixes. This generation begat three separate models as the engine displacement increased, the names based as usual on centiliters - the 230SL (2.3 liters) produced from 1963 to 1967, the 250SL (2.5 liters) in 1968 and 1969, and the 280SL (2.8 liters) in 1970 and 1971.
I think this was a 250SL.
It came with either a four-speed automatic transmission or either a four-speed or five-speed stick shift.
