1979 Mercedes Benz SL Class 450SL Cabriolet USA Version Red in 1:12 scale
This is the 1979 Mercedes Benz SL Class 450SL Cabriolet USA Version Red in 1:12 scale by KK Diecast.
The 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Cabriolet (USA Version) is a classic embodiment of Mercedes’ safe, sophisticated, and enduring approach to luxury roadsters, standing apart from much of its competition with its blend of refined cruising comfort and robust engineering. What made the USA version unique was its emphasis on safety and emissions compliance — including features like reinforced bumpers and advanced (for the time) safety systems — without diluting the smooth performance of its 4.5-liter V8. Its well-insulated, comfortable cabin, renowned build quality, and relaxed V8 power made long open-top journeys effortless, while the R107’s timeless design has given it one of the longest production runs in Mercedes history. In a period when many convertibles were lightweight and focused more on flash than substance, the 1979 450SL offered a confidence-inspiring, luxurious, and durable alternative that appealed to buyers seeking both prestige and everyday usability.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
