1979 Mercedes Benz SL Class 450SL Cabriolet USA Version Black American Gigolo Movie and TV Series in 1:12 scale
This is the 1979 Mercedes Benz SL Class 450SL Cabriolet USA Version Black American Gigolo Movie and TV Series in 1:12 scale by KK Diecast.
The 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Cabriolet (USA Version) in black, famously featured in the film American Gigolo and subsequent TV references, stands out as a cultural and automotive icon of late-1970s luxury. What set this car apart from its competition was its effortless blend of V8-powered grand touring, exceptional build quality, and understated sophistication, making it a symbol of success rather than raw performance. The U.S.-spec 450SL paired smooth, relaxed power with a comfortable, well-insulated cabin and strong safety engineering, qualities that distinguished it from flashier but less refined rivals. Its on-screen presence cemented the R107 SL as a style statement as much as a luxury automobile, elevating it beyond transportation into a lasting symbol of elegance, confidence, and cinematic cool.
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.
