Took the 300SLD to it's first car show under my ownership!

Every Thursday Farmer Boys has a cruise night and car show. I brought the 300SLD, and it is it's first car show under my ownership. There were mostly muscle cars, hot rods, "Tri-Five" Chevy's, and a few others. Not many people stopped to look at the SLD. Most people don't know what they are looking at, and that it is a special car. That's okay, it was still fun. A lot of cool old iron was there on display.

It is an SL with a Diesel engine, therefore a SLD.

Wow, that thing is CLEAN! Take it to a European car show next time, that way it will get the recognition it deserves.

It's next show will be at the Legends of the Autobahn, so yes, it will get seen by those that know what it is.
