Check out this video of the stunning 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Coupe, a multiple Concours d'Elegance awards and Best of Show Winner! It's heading to the Monterey Jet Center Auction and estimated at $1,500,000 - $1,800,000.
This lovely Hermes Rocket and carry case were made in 1953, and the only difference between this and the equivalent Hermes Baby is the model name and carry case. I am not a fan of gullwing ribbon covers, and prefer removable rather than fragile, sharp-edged moving parts.
The 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Alloy Gullwing was built with a lightweight aluminum body to improve performance, but this also made the car more susceptible to rust. True or False ?
