Car articles about Mercedes-Benz 500 K Special Roadster by year
Being able to experience a 1935 luxury car behind the wheel means looking back to the deep Middle Ages of motoring history. Driving a pre-war luxury car is very different from what modern motorists are used to. Roger Gloor introduces us to the secrets of the Mercedes-Benz 500 K and succinctly illustrates the specifics of this sought-after classic.
What does a 23-year-old GI do who is supposed to complete his US military service in Stuttgart in 1956? He is naturally interested in cars and in many cases buys a "Beetle", possibly an Isetta or a Kabinenroller, and more rarely a used 356 Porsche. In our case here, the soldier opted for a 1935 Mercedes Benz 500 K Cabriolet, which he used for many trips during his service. He later parted with the vehicle, but would like to see it again. This report tells the whole story and asks for relevant information in the search.
