I had a 1955 Mercedes 190SL. Paid $250 for it in 1970. The engine was literally in a basket (well, except for the block). The guy I bought it from towed it home for me. I rebuilt the engine and drove it for a long time. Sold it for $5000 in about 1990. It was kind of the little brother to the 300SL, even had some parts in common. It was cool looking but was kind of a pig...way underpowered. It had some interesting stuff for a mid-50's car...self adjusting brakes, OHC engine, IRS, a lot of aluminum body parts. I heard that the main market for it was German prostitutes. Oh well...
Did those 190's have reclining seats?
Sorry, could not resist...!
