Ad of the week: Mercedes 230SL

This is a great Ad for the Mercedes 230SL W113 depicting it as a temptress preying on well heeled men.   It would been seen as Sexist today but I think it is rather clever and fits in well with the car.

Mercedes 230SL Men with Money

Meet Mercedes (230SL).
She has designs on men with money.

Men of whatever age or means might do well to stay out of flirting range of the Mercedes 230SL.

Lest they become involved.

For this classy, sporty young one knowns an uncanny lot about men and what it takes for them to fall in love with a fine motorcar.

Regard some of her charms that could very well turn the heads of the most respectable members of your community:

She was born and bred on the most wicked race courses in the world.

And brought to sophisticated refinement on the speed-limitless Autobahn and the boulevards of teh world’s most renowned capitals.

The 230SL is a two-seater roadster. And so much more!

It is a Grand Touring Car with all the classic features called for in that strict and high level classification.

It is fully instrumented. You get very fast, excellent synchromesh through the manual gear box. Or sporty-acting automatic transmission, if you want.

Its loving heart of a fuel injection engine will beat all day at 125 m.p.h.

This temptress is now displaying her charms at your Mercedes-Benz dealer’s. One look might not hurt. Be brazen. Take the wife along.
