No, y’know, now that I’m looking at it again, what’s up with the passenger side headrest? Is the door handle limited to the door? Is the grille logo even symmetrical?
The head rest has a concave curve, which is what Mercedes did back then. Yea, it looks odd, but it’s correct.
The door handle is a chrome loop with a thumb button, kind of typical for cars in the 60’/70’s. I miss those handles, very satisfying mechanical button.

What fucking Mercedes had a flat hood ornament?

I was fooled by the rear view mirror making the driver’s-side headrest look round.
Oh, yea, that got me too!
That’s a Mercedes 250 SL from around 1966 and I would bet it is a real picture. A search with DDG returns a bunch of them. What a beauty!
Is that the same chassis that Chrysler used in the 90’s/early 2000’s for the Crossfire?
