Beauty is in the eyes of the looker. Doesn't look anywhere near as nice as my 1953 Mercury Coupe. It looks like Benz borrowed the exterior designs from Ford of 1934 and 35. Maybe 1936 Ford had a suicide front door, but even that was gone by 1937. Man that thing looks ancient for 1953. Compared to anything made in the USA in 1953 it's ancient. But it is kind of "cute".
