1957 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL BARN FIND!
We are listing this for a relative. This car is still owned by the original owner that purchased the little car
directly from the factory in Germany when he was stationed there in the army. The title will be the original title
he received when he brought the car back to the States
The little Mercedes has been in the barn for a long time and has suffered from dings, scuffs, scratches etc.. the
floor boards are very solid with just one finger side rust hole under the drivers floor and one small hole under
the original spare tire. There is a couple of small rust spots in the body but other than that the body is very
solid. It has a little mouse damage , the whole electrical system seems to be all intact and working, headlights,
dome lights, speedometer, gauges and dash lights still work. The starter works and engages but the engine will not
turn over, the clutch works good and is very solid. The tires still had air in them and the spare tire was still
hard. The convertible top works as it should. Look at the pictures thoroughly and ask questions and we will relay
to the owner. 1957 Mercedes 190 SL
I was drafted into the Army in May of 1956. In November, I was shipped to Germany and while there I
purchased a 1957 190 SL Mercedes directly from the factory and picked it up in Stuttgart. I toured
several countries in Europe with it and when I was scheduled to return to the USA to be discharged, I
took it up to Bremerhaven to be loaded on a ship to be delivered to New Jersey. After my discharge at
Fort Dix in 1958, I picked it up at the dock and drove home to Ohio. My wife and I put about 20000+
miles on it after we were married and then we were having a family and farming pretty heavy. Since it is not
a family car, it did not get used much. I had chances to sell it but sentiment stopped that. It was
put into the barn on an asphalt floor and it basically has set there for many years.
I am now nearing 83 years old and we have decided to let it go to someone who we hope will restore it to
its original
beauty.
It has never been in an accident of any kind, not even any dents. All the dents and dings it now has come
from sitting in the barn and from careless workers, kids and grandchildren over the years.
I have had some great times driving this car and I hate to part with it. This car is what caught my wife's
eye at a church service in the spring of 1958 and I was the second thing she noticed. Our 56th wedding
anniversary was on September 13, 2015. It really has been a great car for me. I would hope
someone would value it as well.

Germany says nein to EU ban on new fossil-fuel cars from 2035

Tue, Jun 21 2022

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's government will not agree to European Union plans to effectively ban the sale of new cars with combustion engines from 2035, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Tuesday. In its bid to cut planet-warming emissions by 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels, the European Commission has proposed a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions from new cars by 2035. That means it would be impossible to sell combustion engine cars from then. European Parliament lawmakers backed the proposals this month, before negotiations with EU countries on the final law take place. Speaking at an event hosted by Germany's BDI industry association, Lindner said there would continue to be niches for combustion engines so a ban was wrong and said the government would not agree to this European legislation. Lindner, a member of the pro-business Free Democrats, which shares power with the Social Democrats and Greens, said Germany would still be a leading market for electric vehicles.

New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.
