Flat Out | 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL

This week’s Mercedes-Benz 300 SL hints at what it would have been like if a spaceship had landed in the desert in 1955. This gorgeously styled ’55 Gullwing was the fastest production car in the world in its heyday, and owner Craig Eckberg shows why as he lets the German straight-six loose corner after corner.

Get the full story on Craig's 300SL along with some amazing photos here: https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2018/04/20/flat-out-1955-mercedes-benz-300-sl-gullwing

Say goodbye to parade laps. This is Flat Out, which means you're about to get a taste of your favorite classic cars being pushed to their limits. All it takes is a worthy ride, an open track, and a driver willing to test his or her mettle at the ragged edge.
