1956 Mercedes Gullwing
In 1952, Mercedes-Benz astonished the racing world over the successes it achieved with its 300SL, exploiting an advanced space-type frame and aerodynamic body with gullwing doors. The racing 300SL inspired the creation of the production version, which first took flight in 1954. This 1956 300 SL, which is presently for sale at the Auto Collections, was completely restored in 1999 and is beautiful inside and out.
