First Auto Club Post
Hey guys
Thanx for joining this group. And sorry for the late post.
What better way to start off this group than with a classic spotting. Spotted this beauty in Industrial Area.
Mercedes Benz 190 SL Roadster
1955 - 1963
Introduced at the same 1954 New York Motor Show as the Gullwing, the smaller 190 SL Roadster was a soft top convertible with a removable hardtop available as an option. Production began in 1955 and continued until 1963 by which time over 25,000 had been produced. The 190 SL was fitted with a four cylinder inline engine with a capacity of 1897 cubic centimeters.
SL was originally for the German "Sehr Leicht" (Very Light) but when the cars were brought to market, they were referred to as Sport Leicht" (Sport light) since they were not "very" light.
