Car pics too cool not to share

1957 Mercedes 300SL Roadster....
The 1950s was the era when the sports car truly came of age, as stunning aerodynamic design met performance forged in the white heat of competition. Few models exemplified that electrifying fusion quite as completely as the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, a machine born of the first true supercar, yet endowed with a glorious open body that made it the envy of the motoring world.

Not sure what that license plate is about but the picture was supposedly taken by someone in Streetsboro Oh.

OP
Saw this one this morning. Worth watching, just to hear the list of rare and highly sought-after parts this guy incorporated into this build. It is truly something special!
Is it just me, or are the front wheels out of whack? *VERY* nice build - love the color too!
I recall not loving that body style 30 years ago. Either I’ve changed or it has aged really well because I sure appreciate it now

I agree on this with many vehicles that I didn't give a second look to but now I really like the LOOK.

It was "Ok" - and certainly looks fine now. The fendered look they came out with in '94 was nicer.
It's called "toe out on turns" its part of the steering geometry.
The inside tire turns a tighter circle than the outside tire so it has a sharper angle to reduce tire scrub.

You are correct but not as extreme as the picture shows. It is called Ackerman.
