Default Original Dust Supercar

Absolutely love these cars !

A 70 year old Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing in Original unrestored condition.

This 1956 Gullwing is ridiculous with its worn patina inside and out.

The winged body, leather interior and those two bar knock off Rudge Wheels are gorgeous.
Talk about rim stamping information.

Even the luggage with the round chrome bar for strapping is over the top.

Tim,

Only if you preserve the smell of the 70 year old leather interior.

So neat to see all the human touch on the leather from the ingress / egress over the sill to the heavy patina at the ignition key area.

Personally, I wouldn’t touch a thing.
Rare art on wheels.

The tilting steering wheel.

Needed for the “In-N-Out” (wink) of the four years of this model.

Tyler Hoover of Hoovie's Garage just purchased one of those a couple months ago and had Mercedes do the work to get it running again after it sat for several years, and then took it on a 1,000 jaunt with a bunch of other gullwings. He has some pretty good videos about it on YouTube.
