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.

Mercedes GLE63 AMG Coupe teased

Thu, Jan 8 2015

The very concept of the luxury crossover coupe often gets flamed for being not only ugly, but also impractical. However, after years of letting BMW blaze the trail with the X6, Mercedes-Benz recently entered the field with the GLE-Class Coupe. Now, it's time to add a little more pepper to the package with the newly teased GLE63 AMG Coupe. The video above gives a solid look at the three-quarters perspective of this high-performance high-rider. Compared to the standard version buyers get a different front bumper with larger air intakes and an arching wing that almost appears to be floating in space. Flashes in the clip show off AMG branding for the brake calipers, steering wheel and seats, as is expected. This is clearly not a vehicle that'll appeal to everyone, but it offers an alternative to the latest BMW X6 M with 567 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. Mercedes isn't saying what lies under the hood of the GLE63 AMG Coupe yet. Although given the name, we suspect a version of the brand's 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 is the likely choice. It's offered in the latest C63 AMG with either 469 or 503 hp. The debut for this CUV coupe is possible at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show, where the standard GLE Coupe will be unveiled.

2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
