This couple from Southport enjoyed the beautiful weather on Sunday by cruising through town in their pristine early 60's vintage Mercedes SL 1 convertible.The vintage Mercedes-Benz SL convertible lineage began in 1954, following the marque's 1952 racing triumphs. The name stands for "Sport Leicht" (Sport Light). Over seven generations, it transitioned from a track-ready exotic into the pinnacle of luxurious, high-performance grand touring for the road.

Some collector automobiles of this type have fetched hundreds of thousand of dollars at auction.
