Some cars defined an era. Others became legends.

The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL unquestionably belongs to the latter category. Born in 1955, this refined German roadster quickly won over the international jet set, becoming one of the most desirable cars in Hollywood, the French Riviera and the world’s most exclusive destinations.

These were the years of Frank Sinatra, Grace Kelly, the great stars of American cinema and international music icons. A world of elegance, success and glamour, where the 190 SL came to embody an incomparable way of life.
