Side Glances: Gullwings and the ghosts of Sindelfingen
Article Abstract:
The Mercedes-Benz Gullwing SL300 was one of the few truly great cars that defined glamour, speed and a return to better times in the occasionally dreary atmosphere of post-World War II Europe. An account of the 50th anniversary celebrations of MercedesE SL-Series is presented, where guests of honor included Pablo PicassoEs son, Duncan, and photographer David Douglas Duncan, who popularized Gullwings in a 1956 magazine article titled 'Ghosts of Sindelfingen'.
