This 1959 190SL was owned and maintained by the previous owner for
over 25 years before I purchased it two years ago. The car is completely
solid. The floors, inner fenders, and chassis have been cleaned and
painted body color. I realize this is historically incorrect, but there
is not thick undercoating hiding rust or rust repairs like many of the
other 190s I have looked at. This car was a solid and clean example
before any restoration began. I have over 25 years worth of receipts
from my ownership as well as the previous owners for this car.
The motor is in excellent running condition, makes excellent oil pressure (60psi at warm idle, pegs the gauge off idle), and can be driven away
with confidence. I do not hesitate to drive this car out to dinner or
out to car shows. It performs as it should around town and at highway
speeds. The engine has been sorted and tweaked by a well known marque
specialist. His contact information is available to serious buyers if
you would like to consult with him on his impressions of the car. The
M121 engine wears a pair of Weber Carburetors which make for easy starts
and reliable performance. The car was also recently fitted with the
smaller, lighter, high torque Bosch SR58X starter, installed with the
correct factory spacer ring. The generator was freshened by a local
specialist at the same time. The car has a correct water pump with
servicable bearings installed. I also recently had a correct mechanical
fuel pump with external primer handle rebuilt with a fresh diaphgram
installed. The ignition system was rebuilt with Bosch components
wherever possible.
Many new items have been purchased from my local dealership, the
Mercedes Benz Classic Center, and other specialists. Parts include the
steering wheel, horn ring, air intake boot, hose clamps, windshield,
brake components, fuel hose, and many others. The brake master cylinder
as well as all of the wheel cylinders were rebuilt and all brake
adjusting fiber washers were replaced with genuine Mercedes Benz parts.
Underneath the car, things like tie rods, suspension bushings, and
joints have also been replaced. All greaseable points in the suspension
have been serviced regularly.
The car includes both tops. The black soft top is in excellent
condition. The matching small window hardtop has recently been fitted
with a new headliner. The interior of the car is in excellent shape with
fresh leather and german square weave carpets.
The car has a couple of blemishes which I have done my best to
photograph. In the passenger side rear quarter panel there is a long
scratch which has been touched up. In the passenger side lower front
fender there is another scratch which has also been touched up. One of
the headlight rings has a small ding in it. The passenger side rear
bumper over-rider has a dent in it and the plating has flaked, so some
corrosion has developed. It could be straightend and rechromed. I have
not attempted to repair, repaint, or buff the scratches on the car. They
were on the car when I purchased it. When kept clean and waxed they are
not very noticable, and a professional may be able to minimize them
even further. Also, the rear window rubber seal on the hardtop shows
some cracking from age.
This car is in very nice condition mechanically as well as
cosmetically. The car has won several trophies at local cars shows
during my ownership of the car. The car brings attention, smiles, and
starts conversations wherever it goes. This is a car you can drive and
enjoy as you continue to make it an even better car.
I have driven and enjoyed this car
and look forward to meeting you and discussing the car. I encourage in
person viewings of the car. Please read the whole ad before contacting
me.

The Mercedes-Benz CLA earned itself a spot on our list of the top five unveils of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and for good reason. The German luxury compact is the first small car from the Silver Arrow that looks suitably premium inside and out. Nowness.com has turned out a new video of the CLA featuring super model Karlie Koss in the lead role. We aren't entirely sure what the premise is, but from what we can tell, it looks as if the CLA comes to life and proceeds to be a giant jerk.
After Koss stops to take a closer look at a white horse, the CLA gives the supermodel the old stop-and-go treatment before leaving her on the side of the road. Eventually, the sedan makes nice, but Koss has to ride shotgun instead of taking the controls herself. You can check out the video below to see for yourself.

We are fully confident in saying that this will be the most amazing thing you see all day. First of all, it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen - in AMG spec, no less. And it's being shown off in high-definition video glory, blasting through the desert, jumping over sand dunes, and generally being awesome. But here's the kicker: It has six wheels. Three axles. And they're all driven. Holy $%!#.
Under the hood is AMG's usual 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, and total output is rated at 536 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That's impressive and all, but do keep in mind that the G63 6x6 weighs in at 8,322 pounds or, you know, the weight of two E-Class sedans. Combine that with its 18 inches of ground clearance, 37-inch tires and five locking differentials and you've got a vehicle capable of, well, everything you've ever imagined or will ever imagine for the rest of your life.
But the goodness doesn't stop once you open the doors. Oh, no. This thing is fit for a king - or a sheik, more appropriately - with ultimately luxurious seating for four. The rear bench seat has been removed in favor of two bucket seats with a fixed console in the middle, and the rear seats have been moved back beyond the usual B pillar to allow for more legroom.

According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
