51-Years-Owned 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL

The 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL is a classic vehicle with a rich history, having been owned by its dedicated owner for an impressive fifty-one years. Manufactured in 1959, this roadster is a quintessential example of German engineering from the post-war era. Notable features include its distinctive upright headlights and iconic tri-pointed star on the grille, with a design that pays homage to the legendary 300SL "Gullwing." The 190SL shares many components with its larger sibling but offers an affordable entry point into Mercedes-Benz sports car history, powered by a robust and lively 2.0L inline-four engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Its sleek profile is characterized by a long hood, short rear decklid, and the signature curves that defined the era's roadsters, making it not just an interesting collectors' item but also a driveable piece of automotive history.
