Another Mercedes-Benz 450 SL Advertisement: "Spoil Yourself"

 

Not much more to say here that I have not said before. This car is a roadster, but not a sports car.  It does not have a manual transmission. Lightness is not a attribute of this car. It is strong and safe, with numerous conveniences, very much unlike the traditional British sportscar. It is carefully engineered, particularly in terms of suspension.  It is built for the leisure class, for those who golf, go to the club, or to a formal gathering. It makes a statement about its owner -- successful, active, fashion conscious. And a car one can travel vast distances in without beating you up.
