Gorgeous, imposing car. An excellent vídeo, by an intelligent, well spoken Car Person. Thank you Mr. Osborne for your calm, relaxed -- and yet knowledgeble comments.

Is there anything to not like about either Donald or that car? Even his corny introduction songs are fun! Thanks Donald for sharing this gem of engineering with us.

I could watch Donald Osborne all day! I could watch a 300SL all day. To see both in the same piece is a delight! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion with the world.

So as I've watched Mr. Osborn on these videos, he pretty much grins driving every vehicle! And I certainly don't blame him! Keep making these awesome videos.

I last saw a Gullwing on the road 30+ years ago on the freeway in Los Angeles. It was candy apple red and in stop and go traffic had the doors open to keep the occupants comfortable!

Audrain, and Mr. Osborne....Thank you. This is the You tube channel I’ve been hoping for. And will support and enjoy and will most certainly look forward to a trip to the Audrain this summer God willing....thank you again, and stay safe.

I loved this car as a kid. It never gets old with age.
@Redmenace963 жыл бұрын
To say a 300 SL is beautiful, doesn't do it justice. It is astounding from every angle. And this is all true without its racing heritage. There is nothing like it in the world.

Another great video. Thank you Donald! I have to admit that I was hoping you'd do a reenactment of the scene in the 1956 movie High Society where Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra drive down Bellevue Ave in a 190 SL convertible. Not the same car of course, but close sisters. Keep up the good work!

Thank you Donald. This is the only way I'll ever be able to see wonderful cars like this. I would love to build a restomod style clone of a 300SL. It's just beautiful.

Little off topic, my first car (in the 70's) was a Benz 1959 190b, such a wonderful car. Had Mercedes rebuild the engine too. There was also the the 190SL.

The 300SL is an amazing machine.........a seven digit price tag for sure..........a lot of performance from an inline 6.........not too many......if any American car's could hang with this in 1955........even a Corvette.......

When i was a young man I worked for a car dealer who had 2 of these. My job was wax on wax off. these two cars were parked next to my work station. Mint condition. But I was allowed to sit in them and have my lunch. If I only knew then what i know now.....

Introduced at Hoffman's Manhattan dealership, I wonder how many orders were from New Yorkers. I often feel there's an American element to the SL principles driving this German car to launch in New York and not Munich.

This car needed a really good 1950's set of scallops. Look up the Hooper Mercury. Or Watson style panel painting. At least some top level pin striping. Leaving a cool car like this in plain white is a crime . Great lines but it needs the 50's Kustom Kar touch.
