Behold: the 1955 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing, legendary street-legal version of the equally legendary W194 race car – sleek and aerodynamic, with a direct injection system borrowed from WW2 fighter plane engines.
This particular model, fully restored in the early 1990s, has been part of the Wiesenthal Mercedes Collection in Vienna since leaving its original American owner in 1979.

I’d love a spin in that
Now this is art. Holy moly.
Wow.
was there right up until last photo – the gullwing: pinnacle of silliness… you can keep it
that’s why it’s a one nighter not a keeper
which isn’t necessarily a bad thing
thought you’d come round….
Good Lord…
Incredible style, I guess aerodynamics put an end to many curvy designs, but wow they looked great
Allied WW2 planes?
