The Appeal
The "Heckflosse" was amongst the earliest cars to bring Mercedes-Benz into full mid-century contemporary design, and quickly became a fixture for the well-to-do. This was a car that felt stately, handsome, and comfortable - with rock solid build quality at its core and a comfortable interior. They've become a particularly well-regarded classic.
This particular example of the 190C appears to be a matching numbers car, and is now ready and waiting for a restoration and overhaul. With its complete documentation including USA title and European import papers, and all duties and VAT already paid, this presents a straightforward project opportunity for the Mercedes enthusiast.
