MMI11227 '55 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing

The automobile industry was startled with the dramatic appearance of the new 300 SL coupe derived from the earlier race cars. There is no mistaking this legendary car, with its doors opening like a gulls wing. A rigidtubular frame completely surrounds the everything under the skin of the car which required a new approach to allow entry due to the high sills below the doors. This unique feature is faithfully detailed in the kit, along with the detailed space frame, an opening hood to expose the fuel injected engine, clear and chrome parts, movable wheels with rubber-like tires and full detailed interior. The 1955 Mercedes Gull Wing was chosen by Automotive Magazine as one of "The 25 Most Beautiful Cars Ever"
