As if to acknowledge the importance of the American market to Mercedes-Benz, the world premiere of their production 300 SL Gullwing coupe took place in February, 1954, at the International Motor Sports Show, held in New York City. And the American market responded with fervor, helping make Mercedes a new identity as the manufacturer of fantastic, exclusive sports cars.
