This year the Great Race from San Antonio, Texas to Greenville, SC includes some older Mercedes. One is a 190SL! If you live anywhere along the route I recommend that you be there to watch the cars go by. A real slice of American history and the entrants pay $6000 a piece to be in the race.
Started I believe in the 1930s this is a great slice of automobile history. Here is a list of automobiles entered.... https://www.greatrace.com/participants

? So does "1 sweet 66" refer to a past or current vehicle in your stable .....
Ha! Past. 1966 Corvette that I really liked but it was also a real chore to drive. I guess now that I'm getting older I wanted to spoil myself with more luxury. I had a newer Corvette at the time but there is just this stigma hanging around the Corvette crowd. Still have a '71 Corvette in the garage too. The new C8 is nice but the SL always gets respect from the car crowd. The 1sweet66 is a screen name from Corvette Forum and it was just easier to keep the same on this forum. Guess I'm just lazy! Was thinking of changing it.
Check the Thread "How about an SL73 ...." Post # 12 ... I included a pic of my '58 Regal Turquoise ... not numbers matching but a nice looking weekend car
Thanks ! That particular turquoise was a 1 year only color making PeggySue fairly rare as you've noted many repaints change over to red or black. She's a keeper.

You see so many of the C1's in red or black. That turquoise is sharp!
