FORT WORTH, TX, October 10, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The DFW Car & Toy Museum is proud to announce the addition of a true automotive icon to the Ron Sturgeon Collection: the 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL, stunningly finished in timeless white. Perfectly embodying the style, engineering excellence, and luxury that Mercedes-Benz has long been known for, the 190SL remains one of the most beloved roadsters of the 1950s and 1960s.

Beneath its elegant curves lies a spirited 1.9-liter M121 inline-four engine, delivering 104 horsepower through a four-speed manual gearbox—making the 190SL as enjoyable to drive today as it was when it first rolled off the production line. With a double-wishbone front suspension, rear swing axles, and power-assisted drum brakes, this sporty yet approachable roadster offered a refined, smooth ride that continues to charm enthusiasts worldwide.

The interior is a symphony of vintage sophistication, featuring a Becker AM/FM radio, manual wind-up clock, locking glove box, and even air conditioning—rare luxuries for its time. The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 7,000-rpm tachometer and a 140-mph speedometer, showcasing the thoughtful marriage of sporty ambition and daily drivability that made the 190SL such a standout in its era.

"The 190SL isn't just a car—it's a mood, a lifestyle, and a testament to an era where elegance met innovation," said Ron Sturgeon, founder of the DFW Car & Toy Museum. "It's the kind of car that makes you want to take the scenic route, and we're thrilled to have it as part of our growing collection of automotive legends."

Visitors to the DFW Car & Toy Museum can now experience firsthand the charm, poise, and enduring allure of the 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL—a car that truly set the standard for attainable luxury and driving pleasure.
