Before Emmitt Smith became Lincoln Motor Company’s brand ambassador, he purchased a 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL hard top convertible to celebrate signing on with the Dallas Cowboys. We are all familiar with Smith’s illustrious football career – three Super Bowl championships, NFL’s all-time leading rusher with 18,355 yards in 15 seasons, the only player to have won a Super Bowl MVP, NFL MVP, and NFL Rushing Crown in the same season, and inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010. But what became of that historic convertible that was purchased proudly during Smith’s rookie year with the Cowboys? HERE IS HOW RICHARD RAWLINGS DESCRIBED THE CAR : 1991 Mercedes-Benz SL300 ***EMMITT SMITHS ROOKIE RIDE!!!*** The year is 1990 and Emmitt Smiths dream to play for the Dallas Cowboys comes true. Whats the first thing he buys? a brand new 1991 Mercedes-Benz SL300 Convertible! Now Emmitt has had many great vehicles to date, but only one was his first Rookie Ride as an NFL Player. And now your dream can come true by owning this historic vehicle that was "All Time's" first ride! Emmitt has verified this as his first car after signing with the Dallas Cowboys ( we found an old expired American Express Card under the seat ! that is NOT included in the sale). This vehicle will be seen on an upcoming episode of the hit show "Fast n Loud" and the winning bidder will have the option of taking delivery here on the show! This car is in Good condition needing some TLC ( rt.front marker lens, fog lamps, new wiper blade, etc....) We recently aquired this Mercedes-Benz after verifying it was Emmitt Smiths, washed it a drove it for a short period of time for filming purposes. It runs & drives like ,well, a Mercedes-Benz ! The Interior needs some TLC to be perfect, but is certainly enjoyable the way it is. The Speedometer is not working nor is the Tach or fuel gauge so true mileage is unknown. See all pictures & ask any questions. We sell Internationally as well as locally & will end the auction when it sales. Clear TexasTitle in hand. There is a special plaque that is engraved "BUILT ESPECIALLY FOR EMMITT SMITH #22" w/ the Mercedes-Benz emblem on it that is attached to the original center glove box cover,which was removed from the vehicle for safe guarding prior to our receiving it. This glove box cover is included with the purchase. I'll try to add a picture. |

Mercedes to roll out C63 AMG late in 2014 with 4.0L V8
Mon, 30 Dec 2013The new 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is upon us, launching initially in North America with turbocharged four-cylinder C300 4Matic and six-cylinder C400 4Matic flavors. But that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the vast array of powertrain configurations that will be offered in the new C-Class in markets around the world. Orders will soon be rolling in for gasoline, hybrid and diesel engines with four, six or eight cylinders, driving the rear wheels or all four, with the seven-speed automatic transmission soon to be replaced by a new nine-speed unit. But what enthusiasts are really looking forward to is the next C63 AMG.
As BMW has done with the M3 (and new M4), Mercedes has gradually ratcheted up the cylinder count in its AMG C-Class, graduating from the 3.6-liter V6 in the original C36 AMG to the 4.3-liter V8 in the C43 AMG, then the 5.5-liter V8 in the C55 AMG before going the distance with the sublime 6.2-liter V8 in the C63 AMG. Like its rivals, Mercedes is expected to use turbochargers as a replacement for displacement in the next model, but unlike its Bavarian rival, it won't be losing any cylinders in the process.
Skipping the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that has gone on to power other AMG models, the next C63 AMG is still expected to introduce a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing between 450 and 500 horsepower. It'll also reportedly keep the same seven-speed automatic transmission (instead of switching to the new nine-speed), but the jury's still out on whether it'll come with rear- or all-wheel drive (or offer buyers the choice). The downsized V8 - codenamed M177 - is then expected to find its way into other models, but the C-Class will be the first to get it when it arrives before the end of the new year ahead.
Mercedes takes VW Westfalia Camper idea upscale with new Marco Polo
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz revealed the new V-Class. Slotting in below the popular Sprinter, the new V-Class replaced both the Viano and Vito upon its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. But Mercedes isn't quite done with it just yet. At the upcoming Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Germany, Mercedes will reveal the Marco Polo - a versatile, stylish and decidedly contemporary take on the classic camper van.
Named after the famous Italian explorer, the Marco Polo was converted by Westfalia, an outfit which you might more closely associate with classic VW camper vans but which Daimler absorbed over a decade ago. Offering, according to the press release below, "a maximum of opportunities to be independent, free and spontaneous," the Marco Polo sleeps four thanks to the rear bench that electrically folds flat into a bed and the second berth under the pop-top. The flexible interior is decked out like you'd expect a modern Mercedes to be, with ambient LED lighting as well as wood, metal and piano black trim.
It's got an onboard kitchenette with two gas burners, a sink and fridge with a 10 gallons of fresh water and an even bigger waste tank. All that gear is shlepped around by a choice of four-cylinder turbodiesel engines ranging in output from 136 to 190 horsepower. The relatively compact form boasts a turning circle similar to a full-size sedan and a height designed to fit into most garages and car washes. All of which just might make us reconsider the appeal of traveling by camper van.
Smart will go electric-only in United States and Canada
Tue, Feb 14 2017By 2018, the Smart car brand will be only known as an electric vehicle manufacturer in the US. According to Automotive News, sales of gasoline-powered Smart cars will cease later this year, and Daimler will develop the product portfolio into a solely electrified one. This coincides with the upcoming launch of the new generation Smart ForTwo electric drive models this summer. Automotive News claims to have obtained a letter from Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Dietmar Exler sent to US dealers. In it, he underlines the decision to go electric-only, saying "developments within the micro-car segment present some challenges for the current Smart product portfolio," and that the change will only affect North American sales. Production of US-destined gasoline-powered Smarts will cease in April, and sales will continue until stock runs out. The current generation has been on sale from 2015, and it hasn't reached the 2014 sales peak of 10.453 units of the previous generation; last year, there were little more than 6.200 Smarts sold in the States. The first electric drive Smarts were unveiled a decade ago, but they became available in the USA five years later, initially via various trial programs, including Car2Go fleets. Related Video:
