This High Performance Mercedes is NOT What it Seems

A mid 80s Mercedes-Benz convertible that is not quite what it seems? is it a 350SL? 450SL? 560SL? Nope, it's the 1986 Mercedes 500SL!
The 500SL was not sold in the United States when new, but here it is on the streets of Newport RI. Watch as Donald Osborne flips that switch to "Sport" and discusses history and rally roots of the 500SL. Enjoy the quintessential Mercedes design paired with almost double the horsepower of the 450SL.

A perfect bridge between our new exhibition, "Land Yachts: Cruising the Interstate Highways" and our upcoming Youngtimers Events.
