As one of only 70 Gullwings produced by Mercedes-Benz in 1957, this rare and desirable final year of production 300SL Coupe has spent the past 40 years in single owner enthusiast collector care, having never been offered for sale publicly. The car presents today in its as-delivered factory original colors of DB 190 graphite gray over 1079 red leather. Worthy of note as a particularly rare original delivery option, chassis 7500028 sports chromed and mirror polished rims as it did when delivered new in 1957.
