Tuksedo Studios in Bali, building 5 Mercedes 300 SL a year by hand, to order

Paul Newman at the racetrack... it doesn't get a whole lot cooler than that

a vintage 300 SL Gullwing, a Ferrari F430 and a 190SL drop top, and a 67 Shelby GT 500 are not what you’d expect to see parked next to a shopping center after sundown, but someone did the smart thing and got them the hell out of burn zone Calabasas BEFORE the fires struck

someone dressed up this gullwing a lot

I love the color combo

artist John Sarkisyan's classic 300SL with modern features created by wrapping a newer Mercedes with a classic body, made from fiberglass

below is one that he had at SEMA 2018

That body you’re looking at it made of fiberglass. Sarkisyan used a friend’s real Gullwing to make molds and then create this amazing clone.
