I found this really gorgeous Mercedes-Benz SL Class sport coupe, tagged with Florida historic plates. Not sure of the year, but I know it's a pre-1970 model.
I saw this Mercedes-Benz SL Class parked around the block from the Jacob Javits Convention Center after I left the auto show. Guess the show wasn't really over. :-D
This is a 380SL, indicating that it has a 3.8-liter V8 for an engine, which would date it between 1980 and 1986.
I can't explain the absent license plate either.
Taking on a few of my model cars on my latest shoot. Wasn't too satisfied with the majority of the edits but this one was my favourite.

Looking pretty good for its age, this is a 1979 Mercedes-Benz SL coupe, parked quietly on a main suburban street.
This generation of the SL class was introduced in 1970 and continued in production until 1989. The Germans have always had a talent for timeless automotive designs. (So too, in fairness, the Americans - remmber, the second-generation Camaro and Firebird lasted eleven years!) Alas, the Japanese have dumbed down automotive styling with their four-year product cycles, so even a Mercedes of this design caliber doesn't last very long.
