REWIND.  First the Americans resurrected one-time classics by introducing modernized versions that maintained the integrity of the original muscle (Chevy Camaro, Dodge Charger, Ford Mustang).  Now, the Germans are following suit with a revival of the iconic Mercedes 300SL.  The new edition will be crafted by  Arturo Alonso and his company, Gullwing America.   The design team has maintained the essence of the 50s 300SL but the new model will feature many of the modern conveniences that we have come to expect from a luxury vehicle: air conditioning, power windshield wipers, a modern sound system, a Mercedes M-133-55 powerplant, as well as modern suspension and gearbox accommodations.
