Most of the images on our blog are wedding related, but I swear that isn’t all we shoot. So I just want to state for the record that this car isn’t marrying anybody. But I’m sure a few people would like to take it out for an evening.
The 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL is considered one of the most collectible Mercedes-Benz models of all time and it has those really cool “gullwing” doors. Sports Car International magazine ranks the 300SL as the number 5 sports car of all time. I’ll go with that. Jay Leno is a big time car collector and he owns a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL as well, and he says that only 1402 of the 300SL’s were ever produced. So I’ll go with that, too.
This one belongs to Todd Blue and Indigo Classic Cars in Louisville, KY, and we are thankful for the opportunity to photograph such a valuable car. At auction, they can go for more than three-quarters of a million dollars.
