1958 Mercedes Benz 190SL Seller’s Guide

 

In July 1957, the rear license plate lamp of the Mercedes 190SL was moved to the bumper horns to enable fitting the wide license plates that were being introduced at the time. The rear bumper horns were thus a basic equipment item, while at the beginning of production the cost extra; the United States versions always had them at the front and rear as standard however. This is one of the easiest ways to distinguish a 1958 Mercedes 190SL from other year models. Often compared to its brother the 300SL, the 190SL had to live in the shadow of its more illustrious sibling. However, judging by the number of well-kept and appreciated 190SL’s that have survived, it seems to be a burden it has borne rather well. While the 190SL price range does not bring the large asking prices of the 300SL Gullwing, the cars are consistently some of the most sought-after in the European classic car collectors market.
