1955 300SL at Daniel Schmitt & Co. in St. Louis, MO. 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL in Saint Louis, MO | Daniel Schmitt & Co.

What the photos show
- red paint looks glossy, deep and even all round with tight gullwing door gaps, so no repaint or panel work is visible
- chrome bumpers, grille and headlight rims look bright and straight, so no chrome bill is showing
- tan leather seats, sills and door panels look new and unmarked with clean quilted trim, so no retrim spend is visible
- dash, gauges and wood-rim wheel look clean and complete, so no dash restoration is suggested
- engine bay does not show a 1955 300SL engine at all - it shows a modern fuel-injected engine with a plastic intake, cone air filter, modern alternator, brake booster and alloy radiator, so this is not original mechanicals and originality money is not there
- underside on the lift shows a modern black box frame, coil-over suspension, catalytic converters and an automatic gearbox pan, all clean and rust-free, so it reads as a modern recreation underneath rather than a 1955 chassis
- wheels and tyres in the exterior shots look clean with body-colour hubcaps, so no wheel spend is visible there
Money: no sold price is listed, and the photos show a very tidy modern-built replica/recreation in genuine 300SL clothing - that supports replica money, not genuine 1955 300SL money, however good it looks.
