The Park Ave Collection is extremely honored to offer this Single
family owned 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL with just 65k miles in
factory Black(040 G) over cream(1060)leather. This matching numbers
car was delivered new in California before being relocated to Texas
with the original owner. The vehicle was inherited by a family
member of the original owner in 2013, a comprehensive show quality
5 year restoration was started shortly thereafter and was completed
in 2018. Shortly after being restored the vehicle was awarded with
the Designers Choice award at the 2018 Eyeson Design show in
Detroit, Michigan.
This spectacular example of 1950's German engineering is powered by
a 1.9-liter inline-four-cylinder engine with twin Solex carburetors
paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a
black convertible soft top, cream leather interior, a full set of
instruments, tinted visors, drivers side mirror, a bright
windshield surround, grille and bumpers, ivory steering wheel with
horn and turn signal functions, a map light, dash-mounted rear view
mirror and locking glove box with VDO clock. 13" steel wheels wear
chrome rings, body-colored hubcaps and American Classic whitewall
tires. The vehicle's stopping power is provided from power assisted
drum brakes. The double-wishbone front suspension and rear swing
axles with coil springs provide miles of smiles in this immaculate
luxury roadster. This 190SL is now offered with a data card,
restoration records, factory issued tool kit, and a clean
Pennsylvania title that lists the car as a 1959 example.
