1957 Mercedes Benz 190SL Convertible 

Extremely Rare Factory Strawberry Over Camel Leather

Concours Grade 

Many Photos Below Description

Used as Hagerty Insurance Display Vehicle at Several Events

The Mercedes Benz 190SL is one of the most attractive European vehicles of it’s time. As the 190SL came in a various amount of color options, there are a few that stand out the most. The particular Strawberry Metallic color choice is certainly one to talk about. From 1955 to 1963, less than 26,000 190SLs were produced and only a hand full, less than 50, left the line with the rare color combination of Strawberry Metallic (DB 5430) over Camel Leather. Today, nearly 60 years later, it is few and far between to locate a Strawberry Metallic 190SL, especially with the Camel Leather interior in perfect running condition.

Furthermore, this 1957 Mercedes Benz 190SL is prime example of an excellent matching numbers historic vehicle. With a very detailed restoration completed in 2005, with receipts and write ups attached, gives this 190SL an even more rare sight to see. This vehicle comes with a very extensive list of service records and restoration invoices. As well as a complete tool kit with the spare tire sitting properly in the trunk. In the glove box you will find the owner’s manual. The chrome bumpers and trim show a true mirror finished with no defects to be found. As you move underneath the vehicle you can see the flawless under body with solid exhaust piping running from front to back. As you open the door and step into the drivers seat you first take notice to the most desired Camel leather covering the top of the dash and all the way around to the cushion below. There is nothing more exciting than turning the key to a 1957 Mercedes Benz and hearing it start up right away. Pop the front bonnet and have a peak at the immaculate engine bay. The engine runs just as it did coming off the line 57 years ago. Freshly installed are Weber carburetors which were much more desired by customers in years after production. Not to be alarmed though, the original Solex carburetors are cleaned up & packed in a box which will be included with the vehicle.  As you get in the car to drive you can clearly feel the true quality of this 190SL. This vehicle retains the original steering wheel to make the vehicle that much more special, not refurbished or replaced in 57 years! This spectacular example makes for the perfect Sunny Sunday Driver as all lights and signals are in proper working order or the cruiser to and from the Concours.

Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.
