Both from FM. A 1954 Gullwing coupe, in black. Followed by a 1960 vintage convertible, in red:

👍 on the red 

👎 on the black, IMO not a good color choice for such a distinguished automotive masterpiece.

Beautiful pics of a beautiful car.  I love them both and prefer the earlier design.

Gotcha! On the iconic Gullwing, I like Mercedes Silver best. White is not bad either - the lighter colors show the styling lines - black is terrific on some, but few, cars and awful on most in my estimation.  Laughing Out Loud

Both iconic in not the usual colours. Love them both. Thanks Tony. The Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau drives one similar to the red roadster modelled here, that Pierre Trudeau owned originally. His was silver.

Fine pictures of these Mercedes-Benz beauties, Tony ! I like them both and in each color, too. I have a 1954 M-B coupe in a cream color from Kinsmart in about 1:32 scale.

I like both but my favorite is the red ‘60, even that one is prettier in white!
