If German automotive brands are famous for one thing, it is their build quality. You can opt for one of their models from the ‘70s and they will likely still run as if they were built a couple of years back. To be quite frank, they don’t make them like that anymore. For example, the 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is built like a tank, and we aren’t the only ones who think so. With proper maintenance, these beautiful cruisers will probably run forever. What we are featuring here is an all-original 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible showing 119,000 miles on its clock. It is currently in South Carolina and it's a great opportunity to experience what the three-pointed Star had to offer back in the '70s.
When you think of legendary motors, one might think of the legendary R107 generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL. Turn back the clock to the 70s and the birth of what would be Mercedes-Benz second longest running model would take the world by storm and become a classic that's demanded by enthusiasts worldwide. With an almost two decade run and many examples made, finding a clean 70s Mercedes-Benz SL is surprisingly tough to come by. Let's cut out the hunt and present you with this lovely 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL we have today.

Mercedes-Benz’s G-Class is well-known as a tough and fierce off-roader that’s now become a sort of S-Class for off-roading in terms of comfort, tech, and luxury features. This wasn’t always the case, so let’s wind back the clock to the time when the G-Class was just entering the luxury space. This was the time when the W463 generation was entering the market, around 1990. These G-Classes are special because they’ve got a great blend of capability and luxury without over-complicating things with myriad digital screens, touch panels and fingerprint readers. Case in point, this 2000 Mercedes-Benz G500 Cabriolet. With 82,500 miles on the clock and a two-door drop-top body style, this could be your daily driver and your weekend toy, all rolled into one. Oh, and it’s got a V8 under the hood; need we say more?
Being a manufacturer and making a statement in the ʼ80s was a tough task, as the automotive world was on full blast with cars making the move to more tech and a change in design to suit a massive shift in customer tastes and preferences. Mercedes-Benz in the 80s was peak German automotive and the secret to its success? Staying true to who they are and giving the world true luxury and superior engineering over marketing gimmicks. Present today is this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL, this German classic is a love letter to luxury cruising in style and has just a reported 140,316 miles on its clock.
One of the most popular nameplates to come from the Bowtie brand, the Chevrolet Delray debuted for the 1950 model year, as the automaker’s flagship full-size offering. It would run for thirty years, and eight generations. The nameplate wasn’t only seen in the United States, but saw prominence in Canada and Australia too. Of course, the most desirable of the Delrays are the earlier ones, particularly those from the fifties. That makes this 1958 Chevrolet Delray 2-Door Sedan an excellent classic car to experience what American motoring from was like.
Chevy released the third-generation (or C3) Corvette in 1968, and the public lost their minds. Here was a car that was basically 80% concept, its lines lifted straight from Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark II of 1965. Interestingly, the C3 Corvette was released in Hot Wheels form a few weeks before its official release by GM – in a GM-authorized move with Mattel, owners of the Hot Wheels brand. That’s why getting your hands on this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a smart move since less than 29,000 units were made that year. This car comes to you from Florida with a fully rebuilt engine and is reportedly an example with all numbers matching.
Late 50s Chevys and mid 60s Cadillacs have always been popular candidates for restomod projects. However, not all of them are tastefully done like this fully restored 1965 Cadillac de Ville convertible restomod. 1965 was the first model year for the 3rd generation De Ville. It retained the same wheelbase as its predecessor, but the frame was a new perimeter frame (rather than the old X frame). The horizontal headlamp arrangement that had been standard since the late 50s was dropped in favor of a vertical arrangement, which also resulted in a wider grille. Gone were the softer lines of the old car, replaced by a sharper, more boxy design. The tailfins that had started shrinking since 1960 were now lower and slanted slightly downwards rather than slightly upwards. The new straight lines in its design make this car just as good looking with the top down as it does with the top up.
