"It's like Christmas!"
There aren't a lot of things can make you say that, but if you're a car enthusiast like me, Wayne Carini's find on Chasing Classic Cars is definitely worth the saying!
In this clip, Wayne is introduced to a 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL, and if you thought that the make has beautiful models today, check out what one looked like then! Sure, it's no submarine car, but it's just as beautiful as another one of Wayne's proud finds — the Lamborghini Miura!
Wayne's friend Ralph purchased the vehicle to bring it back to his auto shop and restore it to its proper condition. They discover that the 56-year-old car has been sitting in an old garage, untouched, for 35 years, and is still in great condition for its age. There are no visible dents, and though it may look a little dirty, with a little clean up this car can be restored to its full glory! Wayne and Ralph even check the oil— the car doesn't even need an oil change.
Even with just a peek into the interior, you get a sense of how cool this car is— the seats are also in great condition. And who wouldn't be want to be seen in this ride? James Bond himself would take her for a spin! This find truly represents the Mercedes brand with its design, detail, and engineering.
If you think this car is a beauty (and secretly wished you had one), please SHARE!
