Mercedes Benz 300SL Gulwing.
First introduced at the 1954 New York Auto Show and produced for only four years, the amazing “Gullwing” is as shocking a sight to behold today as it was some six decades ago. Seeing this icon on the street was rare even in period, as Mercedes sold fewer than 1,500. Today, with values in the $800,000 range, Gullwings are more often than not ogled from afar or treated with care more befitting a Faberge egg than a 160-mile-per-hour sports car.
