The '55 Roadster project is finally finished!  It took longer than the intended 2 years... more like 10!  But it's done and looks nice.  It's headed for the Bonham's Auction on August 13th.  Thanks for following the progress.

The car looks younger, the owner slightly older...  :)

What I love about this thread, and these pictures, is I thought these cars were absolutely huge....but with people for scale they do not seem so. An absolutely beautiful car !!

So, Craig,
Which Mercedes have you now still in your garage
- after two of your collector items sold?
 ;)

Best,
