The Mercedes-Benz 300SL was the first iteration of the SL-Class grand tourer convertibles and fastest production car of its day. Internally numbered W198, it was introduced in 1954 as a two-seat sports car with distinctive gull-wing doors and later offered as an open roadster.
Built by Daimler-Benz AG, the fuel-injected production model was based on the company's highly successful yet somewhat less powerful carbureted 1952 race car, the Mercedes-Benz 300SL (W194).

This Mercedes-Benz 560SL - so named because pf its 5.6-liter V-8 engine. (560 would mean 560 centiliters.) The 560SL was only sold in a few countries to make up for the reduced output of the smaller five-liter V-8 due to stricter emissions standards.
This would be anywhere between a 1986 and a 1989 model.

Here's a gorgeous Mercedes-Benz SL Class from the 1950s in the West Essex Memorial Day procession - my last shot of the 2007 parade.
Seems weird, though, that a car from a country we fought in both world wars would be in a Memorial Day parade.
One of the first cars in the parade was this great looking Mercedes SL convertible from the sixties. The Mercedes-Benz SL Class, in either convertible or hardtop form, is still a popular car among American motorists.
The store in the background is the Hampton House furniture store, a local institution and one of those retail businesses that make Montclair Montclair.

"Mercedes-Benz went a step further in 1992 with the introduction of the 600 SL. This was the first 12-cylinder to join the SL family, and with 394 hp (290 kW) and six-litre displacement it fulfilled the dreams of many car enthusiasts.
Like all Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, the SL models were given new model designations in June 1993. The letters representing the vehicle class were now placed first, so the 600 SL became the SL 600. The revolutionary innovation of 1995 was the Electronic Stability Program ESP®. This pioneering driving safety system, which reduced the risk of skidding in critical handing situations, was available as standard equipment in the SL 600 and as an option in the SL 500."
