Fully Documented: ’57 Mercedes-Benz 190SL
Not too much to say about this offering from a dealer in Rochester, New York. Now Rochester is not a place where you expect to find fabulous cars.

Larry D. inspected this car — for about two hours — more closely than a Pebble Beach judge scrutinizes a Deusenberg. He kept saying, “I can’t believe how clean this car is.” I was only a bit nervous when we went to fire it up (it hadn’t started in 19 months, and my guy who stores it had forgotten that I’d asked him to do so before Larry arrived) so he could test drive it. But after a bit of cranking to prime the fuel system, she lit right off and settled into a perfect idle instantly. Thanks, StaBil! His (very satisfying) test drive served as the first — and presumably last — time I would ever ride in the car’s passenger seat. A bittersweet feeling, but clearly the car is going to a good and loving home.
