Jutta and Her Mercedes 190 SL, As Beautiful as We Remember

Hi Dennis, You are correct. The car was a 190 SL, and that is Margaret Long. The other girl in the car is a German friend from my pre-Clearfield days, who was visiting at the time. Her father was a colleague of my father's in Huntsville, Alabama, where we lived in the early 1950's. My father gave me the car in pristine condition as a wedding present in 1964, so I got to drive it around the Boston area for a while. The sad tale is that the maintenance and insurance costs were so high that I eventually had to sell it.
