Stop complaining DAD & send something
My grandfather, The Rev. Dr. Professor William Clinton Seitz STD, DCNL, a Mason, serving as a Knight Templar Priest, had a silver sport Mercedes like this. The years must have been 1962 judging by where I lived when we celebrated his retirement. He and his wife Florence booked passage on a cargo ship that year to visit family in Germany and to purchase a car. Research told my Grandfather that the Mercedes was the best car at that time, and the money he saved by getting the car from the factory paid for his trip to Europe. Grandfather’s car did not have the top hinged doors; his was a removable hard top convertible. If I remember correctly the interior was a splash of red leather, mahogany, and Ivory. I have volumes about Grandfather, family, and this car, but I will spare you all.

That would have been a 190 SL John
the earliest of the SL Roadsters
It looked very similar to the Gull
Wing but had conventional doors
Several more models had the removable
hard top & an enclosed soft top but
recently the SLs changed to folding
hard tops (flip top boxes) & no soft
Thanks Cindy
