Four-wheeled works of art

The 1955 Mercedes-Benz 190 SLR was-and is-the very definition of luxury on four wheels

The 1955 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL was a two-door luxury roadster that achieved great popularity as an import to the United States. Customers were quite rightly wowed by the sleek, sporty shape that seemed to suggest speed even before the accelerator was pressed down. And when the engine was humming, the 190 SL boasted 120 horsepower and a top speed of 105 miles per hour.
