1957 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL BARN FIND!
We are listing this for a relative. This car is still owned by the original owner that purchased the little car
directly from the factory in Germany when he was stationed there in the army. The title will be the original title
he received when he brought the car back to the States
The little Mercedes has been in the barn for a long time and has suffered from dings, scuffs, scratches etc.. the
floor boards are very solid with just one finger side rust hole under the drivers floor and one small hole under
the original spare tire. There is a couple of small rust spots in the body but other than that the body is very
solid. It has a little mouse damage , the whole electrical system seems to be all intact and working, headlights,
dome lights, speedometer, gauges and dash lights still work. The starter works and engages but the engine will not
turn over, the clutch works good and is very solid. The tires still had air in them and the spare tire was still
hard. The convertible top works as it should. Look at the pictures thoroughly and ask questions and we will relay
to the owner. 1957 Mercedes 190 SL
I was drafted into the Army in May of 1956. In November, I was shipped to Germany and while there I
purchased a 1957 190 SL Mercedes directly from the factory and picked it up in Stuttgart. I toured
several countries in Europe with it and when I was scheduled to return to the USA to be discharged, I
took it up to Bremerhaven to be loaded on a ship to be delivered to New Jersey. After my discharge at
Fort Dix in 1958, I picked it up at the dock and drove home to Ohio. My wife and I put about 20000+
miles on it after we were married and then we were having a family and farming pretty heavy. Since it is not
a family car, it did not get used much. I had chances to sell it but sentiment stopped that. It was
put into the barn on an asphalt floor and it basically has set there for many years.
I am now nearing 83 years old and we have decided to let it go to someone who we hope will restore it to
its original
beauty.
It has never been in an accident of any kind, not even any dents. All the dents and dings it now has come
from sitting in the barn and from careless workers, kids and grandchildren over the years.
I have had some great times driving this car and I hate to part with it. This car is what caught my wife's
eye at a church service in the spring of 1958 and I was the second thing she noticed. Our 56th wedding
anniversary was on September 13, 2015. It really has been a great car for me. I would hope
someone would value it as well.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class caught totally undisguised

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Based on the lightly camouflaged spy shots of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class we've seen lately, it hasn't taken a vivid imagination to picture what the next iteration of this big luxury sedan will look like. Even so, we now we have our first unobstructed views of the redesigned S-Class, codenamed W222, as it has just been caught out flaunting for some promo shots.
The first thing we notice about the new S-Class design is the disappearance of the last generation's flared wheel arches. Yet the new design adds even more character with bodyside creases similar to the CLS-Class and some elements reminiscent of 2007's F700 Concept, including the massive grille and vertical LED taillights. Other key details include a large panoramic roof and the narrow exhaust outlets, but the large LED-trimmed headlights and the aggressive front fascia are probably the biggest departure from the current design. With these spy shots, we also catch a blurry shot of the interior, but we've seen a practically uncovered look at the new S-Class' cabin back in January.
Overall, the next S-Class sports an expressive and premium new look, but as far as all-new designs go, it's quite conservative - a move no doubt fitting for these lean financial times.

Mercedes-Petronas AMG W04 launched to little fanfare, lots of pressure [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

No indoor cocktail hour for the launch of the W04, the newest chassis built by the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team. Instead, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton spent a morning in photo and video sessions at the track in Jerez, Spain then paused a moment to introduce the car. The team will want the W04 to demonstrate the World Championship credentials of the team personnel and one of the team drivers, instead of the mostly humble performances we've seen over the past three years.
The W04 has been fitted with a new five-element front wing, pushrod front and pull-rod rear suspension, a second-generation Coanda exhaust and an "aggressively packaged" rear end. A small vanity panel, à la Infiniti Red Bull's RB9, covers the stepped nose.
Team principal Ross Brawn has called it "a clear step forward in design and detail sophistication," but as much as we truly respect Brawn's abilities and achievements, we heard him say similar things about the updated W03 last year before almost every race weekend from about mid-season. We really hope he's right this time, and so does the team's newest driver, Lewis Hamilton. We'll do our best to ignore the parallels of the Mercedes F1 team having signed a sponsorship deal with Blackberry, another company trying to find its way back to the top and still struggling, and just point you to the video below of the W04 in action.

Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class

Mon, 18 Mar 2013


The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
