fintail ◊ 2006-10-04 03:07	Weird...are we sure the movie is from 1950? http://www.mercedes-sl.de/W187.htm The car in that pic even has the accent lines on the side of the hood/bonnet. It's uncanny.

fintail ◊ 2006-10-04 14:30	Yes, it seems it is one of those cars. Somehow I was thinking the 170 didn't have pontoon fenders like the car in that pic yet. But I guess a brand new one in 1950 would have. Sounds good to me.
