That's easy. My Dad used to take me to the N.Y. Auto Show in the old Convention Center, Columbus Circle at 59th St. I was probably 8-10 years old when I saw and fell in love with my first SL. That would have been mid sixties, so that would have made it perhaps the 113 body style (230-280SL). I knew I'd someday own one, just never dreamt that it would take 40 years!
