R107
In 1971, the R107 was introduced with a new design language and safety features that would influence subsequent Mercedes models. For the first time, V8 engines were fitted to the SL-Class. Produced from 1971 to 1989, the R107 became one of Mercedes longest-produced models. For the 1981 model year, engine options were updated with new aluminum V8s. A major update followed in 1985, featuring a deeper front air dam, revised braking system, a driver's side airbag and a catalytic converter option. Over the years, the model range included 9 different engine variants.

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.

Here's another Mercedes-Benz SL sports coupe form the New York Auto Show, this one in silver.
I could only get a picture of the front end , rather than the profile, because too many people were crowding around it.
Greta Garbo, had the same trouble, I understand . . ..
Here's a glamourous 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL sport coupe in an unglamourous setting - a parking lot next to a bland brick wall. Still. . . cool car, eh? Nice beige color. :-)
