Now, it’s time for Mercedes-Benz 300 SL to be part of high-end collections & be customized by car builders.

Why not? After all, this is a chance for enthusiasts to turn timeless wheels on a vehicle even more exclusive.

300 SL, the first vehicle in the world to bear the Super Light designation, featured special strokes of engineering and design genius.

Visionary, the top-hinged doors that swung upwards & matelassé-like leather interiors in bright blue played a part on impressive looks to match its high performance.

Still keeping it safe, a custom has recently made social media polarized, where the classic 300 SL’s wheels were replaced by Toyo tires.

While a contemporary touch might turn a legendary car into something unique, some say this is not the point at all.

What are your thoughts on it? Anyway, here’s your guide for the future of car culture.
