About

Daimler-Benz revealed the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL at the 1955 New York Auto Show. While its 161.6 mph top speed was impressive, its roof-hinged "gullwing" doors made it unforgettable, which allowed the car's doors to open upward. Only 1,400 gullwing Coupés were built from 1955 to 1957 before the model evolved into the 300 SL Roadster.

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupé is a classic car with a real racing pedigree. It was based on the legendary W194 racing coupé, which won races all over the world, including the 24 hours of Le Mans, and the Carrera Panamericana, a victory which really turned heads in North America. East coast importer Max Hoffman asked the German manufacturer to produce a road version of the W194. Some dealers claimed to have a hundred orders waiting Mercedes-benz relented, and the 300 SL "Gullwing" Coupé resulted. It's undoubtedly one of the most important models in the company's history!
