Chassis Legends: The Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gull Wing



The car that set the automotive world on fire. Known as the race car for the street, this marked Mercedes Benz first big venture outside of its home country. The Gull Wing produced 1400 units, with 800 being sold in America.  The car had many problems...but that did not stop any one from falling in love with this masterpiece. 







The legend stays intact with names we have grown to know by heart still chasing to own a piece of history with their own purchase. Ralph Lauren received motivation to dedicate a few of his seasonal pieces towards the Gull-Wing. The 300 SL even made an appearance in Kanyes, "Diamonds From Sierra Leone." Mercedes Benz AMG team even happened to make Nigo a special piece just for the "Bape General."




Hell, we even got to see a blast from the past this year.
