This 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL roadster was an interesting choice for our 9th annual club car. I liked the idea that rather than it be finished in "Silver Arrow" silver, it was finished in retro German racing white. Only 413 of these were made.

Phenomenal seacoast shoot Rich!
I had long been a proponent of the FM red version and pushed the D4C team to do this one for our LECC model.

@rich-sufficool Love the reflection pictures, assuming that is the Jersey shore in the background.

@chav Sandy Hook; Parking Lot B. Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Twin Lights across the bay on the other. Lotsa possibilities.

Here is another classic Mercedes from that era. Also 1957.

@donderbeestje Yep. It's another desirable classic I couldn't fit into. LOL
