Mercedes has made a lot of very pretty cars in its day. In my opinion, this is the best looking post-war car they ever put out. The series II SL Mercedes looks extremely simple, and it is, but just as we were leaving the world of hand drawn body lines for rigid 70s boxiness, this incredibly subtle design showed an attention to detail lacking in most marques of the late 60s. The interior is wonderfully plain and inviting, like a boutique hotel lobby. Possibly the best Hamptons cruiser of all time, but, weirdly for a Mercedes, it's not a snobbish car at all. On a related note, every girl has the car that is perfect for her personality. There are girls that look good in VW Beetles, girls that look good in 3-Series convertibles, and girls that look good in Jeeps. One that looks good in this should not be passed up.
