About this generation
The W121-based 190 SL and 300 SL roadster era established the SL name in the 1950s as a lightweight, luxury open-top sports car. The 300 SL roadster used the R121 chassis code and was sold in the U.S. during its production run. It ended before the next-generation SL roadsters arrived.
