I found this picture while researching for my Moebius 1955 300 and was wondering if anybody had any info on this car? Color Pictures? I see he drove it in sports cars races in 1955 but would be a great addition to the model shelf.

Look up Carrera Panamericana. AKA Pan American Road Race. It's probably where the car ran.

Seems to be a restored car , but since the colors are the same than the usual 55 paint schemes and markings , it could be sureley true :

In 1955, Nascar organise in Raleigh, NC, what will ever be his 1srt & only race of "ONLY SPORT CAR RACE".
Owner of this car is no more than K. Kiefhaffer himself, and ha asked Tim to drive for him.
i don't know anymore than that on this thing. hope that helps !

Tamiya offer a really nice, recently tooled 1:24 MB 300SL. MUCH better than the old Heller/Airfix/Revell/Gunze Sangyo kit.
