This is a 300 SL Gullwing. It was the same make/model my parents owned in the 1960's. My Dad sold it in 1972 for $7000. Today it is worth over a half million! Hind sight is 20/20!
Fritz and I took a train ride into downtown Stuttgart and visited the Mercedes-Benz museum. It was 8 stories high and had the first Mercedes every made (1890's) to todays modern cars. One interesting fact that I never knew was during WW2, the Jews in Stuttgart were forced to work 80 hour weeks the Mercedes factories. As the city was being bombed, their safety was disregarded and many died.
Including the train ride there and back and the tour, the whole trip was over 6 hours. 6 hours well spent!
