I do! Here is the Mercedes-Benz 300SL roadster - In 1957 the legendary Gulwing was succeeded by the roadster version of the 300 SL. The open sports car - long wished for mainly by the American clientele - came with regular doors, made possible by a revised space frame with lower frame side members. The newly fitted single-joint swing axle made the high-perfomance sports car easy to handle even for less experienced drivers. This picture was taken at the Mercedes Benz Museum

Looks like grace in motion, even though it's not moving. Great shot!

I can't say that I remember but I can see why this beauty would have been on many Americans wish list and others as well. Beautiful shot , great focus and color.

This is a nice image of this lovely car, but it wouldnt be any good here in Britain as it would be difficult driving holding an umbrella at the same time!!! ha ha They dont make them the same these days do they?

A little before my time. But a great capture of this beautiful car, Antonio. Wonderful colours, clarity and lighting in the photo.
