German Heritage — 3 museum-grade prints that set the mood. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL W198 Gullwing was produced from 1954 to 1957 with 1,400 coupes built. Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut adapted the 1952 racing car's space-frame into the road car, necessitating the signature upward-opening doors. The Mercedes-Benz W196 competed from 1954 to 1955, winning nine of twelve Grands Prix entered. Juan Manuel Fangio drove it to the 1954 and 1955 Formula One World Championships. The Mercedes-Benz 600 W100 was produced from 1963 to 1981 with 2,677 units built across standard and long-wheelbase Pullman variants. The hydraulic-pressurised door, window, and seat system was engineered by Rudolf Uhlenhaut and remains one of the most complex single-circuit hydraulic systems in automotive history.
