Mercedes-Benz 190 SL.

The 190 SL was one of the dream cars of the 1950s from Mercedes-Benz. It was based on the engineering of the three-box body sedans and, stylistically, presented itself as the “little brother” of the 300 SL. The owners of the sporty convertible included the Ismaili ruler Karim Aga Khan, actresses Grace Kelly, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Gina Lollobrigida, and authoress Françoise Sagan.
