When Erich Waxenberger talented engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut once said, the car looked like a tree fell on him was. The roof was, well … unusual. But not only the roof created some excitement, was the performance of the car. Everyone expected a successor to the legendary 300 SL.

Daimler-Benz, of course, remained steadfast in his approach to the role of the new SL. There was neither a 190SL 300SL. It was a tour of high-performance sports car with superior handling characteristics, the two passengers plus luggage were in style, comfort and above all safety wear.

Why would you buy a car if you buy a van? One of the best-selling Ford model in the U.S. is a Mercedes Vito van, after all. They are spacious and very useful when you want to go to the end.
