1959 Mercedes-Benz 190-Series Additional Info:

The car was purchased by Former President John F Kennedy and given to his then girlfriend Marilyn Monroe. Years later Marilyn sells the car when her relationship with John falls apart. The car is then taken to Alabama. I bought it from the 3rd owner and I verified the story by a mutual friend and former neighbor.

A very well loved and well maintained classic. Restoration was completed by 2006 and she has been garaged and maintained, in the dry desert climate in NV, ever since. Comes with both hard and soft tops. The soft top is an espresso brown. Weber twin carbs were added in place of the Solex. Matching wheels add to the allure of this beautiful machine. Manual transmission. The fuel system has been cleaned, including the tank, the fuel lines, the Weber twin carbs, and an electric fuel pump was added all within the last few months before it started it's journey from NV. She is now residing in her garage in Los Angeles.

Interior has been restored, lap belts were added. Weber twin carbs had already been installed. The body was in good condition it needed paint and some mechanicals. European Motor Cars did the engine work. Arnone's Auto Body did the paint, Chrome work (outsourced) new canvas for the top (outsourced). A lot of parts and trim work came from SLAutohaus in Reston, VA via Ron Rapp. The one and only mechanic that has touched this car since the resto, is also the mechanic that maintained the car collection at the Museum in the Imperial Palace (Las Vegas), that's how I found him.
$75,500 or more, gets it.
