15. 1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing Coupe
There were various generations of Mercedes that have made their way into Leno’s garage, the first being the 300SL. The notable Mercedes model has been around the world and inspired countless generations of car designers. But does it belong in the Leno’s collection? Probably not because the car just doesn’t offer anything amazing. You have the Gullwing design, but that’s about the only thing going for it. The 300SL doesn’t offer anything else unique in the way of performance.

Mercedes wasn’t going for performance around this period though. Instead, the company was going for dazzling design. The 300SL is a dazzling design, but it’s also a design that has grown old. This same type of look was carried over on a dozen other cars from this same period. The 300SL Gullwing is probably something Leno could get rid of and not look back.
