Visceral and elegant, this rare 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing checks all the boxes: it's fast, comfortable, good-looking, raw, and very different. Nicole meets up with Robert Webster at his Arizona shop to experience a brisk drive and the nuances of his classic Gullwing, with its hot-rodded 276 horsepower inline 6-cylinder motor, raspy exhaust note, and boldly designed cockpit, uncovering its storied history after encountering several unexpected treasures, including a priceless 1957 Maserati 250S raced by Carroll Shelby.
