About this car
A 1957 190SL at Daniel Schmitt & Co. in St. Louis, Missouri, priced at $169,900. The seller describes a show-quality restoration by Mercedes specialist Bob Platz and a long list of show awards, including AACA Senior and Grand National wins. That record is the substance of the price: ask for the award history and the restoration file, and have the car judged against other top-level 190SLs before paying a best-in-class figure.
What the photos show
- deep red paint is mirror-glossy with laser-straight panels, no paintwork money needed
- chrome is flawless in the close-ups, grille to bumpers, no rechrome bill
- black soft top fits taut, no new top to buy
- black leather seats look fresh and tight, no need to reupholster
- painted dash and gauges are crisp and clean, nothing to restore
- engine bay is clean and correctly detailed, no sorting bill visible
- the gallery tail is paperwork, period brochures and a tool roll — nice completeness that adds value, but it pads the photo count rather than showing more of the car
- the underside is never shown, so the floors and sills can't be judged from these photos
Money: at $169,900 the car itself photographs to show standard everywhere you can see; as usual with a 190SL, the unseen underside is where the remaining money question sits.
