Mercedes-Benz 190 SL (W191)
The second generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL came in 1955 with the cheaper R191/W191 190SL which used an 1897cc 4-cylinder engine and gave sales of 25,881 until it was replaced in 1963. The W121 used a shortened version of the W120/121 Ponton saloon monocoque. American importer Max Hoffman was once again the instigator of a roadster for the American market. Designer Walter Häcker styled the W121 with many references to the illustrious S198 300SL.
