Mercedes-Benz 190 SL wasn t a sports car, it was a real open top tourer, or a Gran Turismo. It weighed about 1160 kg and its 1897 cc 4-cylinder engine produced 105 hp @ 5700 rpm, just enough for a top speed of 175 kph. AFP PHOTO INTERCONTINENTALE / AFP PHOTO / INTERCONTINENTALE

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in 1955 at the enchanting Enghien beauty car contest, a stunning model gracefully poses on the bonnet of the new Mercedes-Benz 190 SL coupe. The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL was not merely a sports car; it embodied the essence of an open-top tourer or Gran Turismo. Weighing approximately 1160 kg, its power stemmed from a remarkable 1897 cc four-cylinder engine that generated an impressive 105 horsepower at 5700 rpm, enabling it to reach exhilarating speeds of up to 175 kph. Captured by AFP PHOTO INTERCONTINENTALE, this square format image exudes timeless elegance and sophistication. Seated confidently atop the sleek vehicle's hood, our fashion model radiates charm with her fashionable hat and infectious smile. Adding an element of whimsy to the scene is an adorable dog playfully positioned beside her. This photograph beautifully encapsulates both automotive excellence and high fashion aesthetics. It serves as a testament to Mercedes-Benz's commitment to crafting vehicles that seamlessly blend style with performance. As one gazes upon this mesmerizing snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where beauty contests celebrated not only human grace but also showcased exceptional automobiles like the iconic Mercedes-Benz 190 SL coupe
