Today Nonnie and I took a 15 minute train ride into Stuttgart to the Mercedes Benz Museum. Some of the oldest and most beautiful cars ever produced are in this fantastic museum. If you love automobiles, like I do, you have to appreciate the beautiful Mercedes Benz cars. Here are a few of the 160 pictures I took today. The pictures, somehow, got their order changes in the move from Photos to Blogspot. To see the pictures in order go to the end and work your way back.

| The most beautiful high performance cars of the 20's and 30's |
 |
| Hillbilly on Holiday |
 |
| This is a 500K like a red one you will see later. It might take a couple of weeks to get it in the shape of the red one. |
 |
| The race car section was close for repairs but I was tall enough to take the pictures over the fence. |
 |
| Unimog from the 50's. Was a truck, could pull a plow, haul a load, had PTO. If you had a farm it would be all you needed. |
 |
| My alltime favorite MB The 230 SL from 1964 |
 |
| Airplane with MB engine that flew around the world. It was shipped across the oceans, but it did fly over the continents including flying across America in 1930. |
 |
| 300 SL Tube Cassis |
 |
| The1955 180. The car that made them all the money so they could build all the fancy cars. |
 |
| 300 SL Gullwing |
 |
| 300 SL Roadster |
 |
| One of two 300 SLR Special Coupes. It has a V8 engine from the 1954 Formula 1 race car. The other one of these was sold by MB for 135 million dollars. So I guess this is the most valuable car in the building |
 |
| Big 300 Adenhauer 1954 |
 |
| 300 Cabriolet from 1953 a real beauty |
 |
| The little car hauler had a 105 mph top speed. |
 |
| The car hauler is hauling the World Sports Car Champion from 1955. Won the Mille Miglia, the Targa Florio, and the Grand Prix of Sweden. Could be a contender for most valuable car. |
