+1 Extremely close but a nod to the Horch for its sweeping lines.

And in today's mail came a 1:43 white metal kit of a Mercedes 230 Cabrio of 1937, also by Plumbies. Gonna have fun!

The Horch ! The sweeping fenders, the windshields lack of a top chrome strip, the lack of sidemounts and the beautiful simplicity of the grill with its lack of horns, and other paraphernalia.
The Horch is what an expensively, beautifully designed and executed automobile should be, IMHO.
The delicate front bumper is a plus too.

I'll go with the Horch, more svelte than the more brutish Benz.
