To say that the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL was ahead of its time would be an understatement. The 300 SL heralded a new era for Mercedes-Benz road cars; it utilized an innovative space-frame chassis coupled with a race-bred, fuel-injected engine, the first of its kind fitted to a production car, and was clothed in breathtaking bodywork.

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL captivated the world upon its release. The brainchild of U.S. distributor Max Hoffman, the stunning sports car enthralled the motoring press and general public alike with its breathtaking looks, state-of-the-art engineering, and world-beating performance. Though its price nearly equaled the cost of a new house, it did not put off those who were well heeled enough to write a check and wanted one in their garage. Voluptuous from every angle, 300 SLs found homes with some of the wealthiest and most glamorous people of the time, including Tony Curtis, Clark Gable, the Shah of Iran, Porfirio Rubirosa, Sophia Loren, and the King of Jordan.
