Mercedes Benz 1936 Replica/Kit
1936 Replica/Kit Makes Marlene Roadster Description
Summer is here!!! A rare opportunity to build your own Classic Roadster. I am selling a gorgeous ‘Marlene’ Roadster Deluxe Kit (NEW) by Classic Roadsters Ltd. The displayed photos show what a finished 'Marlene' of the same color would look like (please note: only the rolling chassis is completed and ready for body parts assembly [wheels in chassis picture not actual]): Here's what automotive writer Curt Scott had to say about the 'Marlene' in the early 1990s: (quote) “Reminiscent of the styling of the legendary 500K Mercedes roadsters of the 1930s, the Marlene 500K is today one of Classic Roadsters’ most popular models. Even the name is reminiscent of the sentimental lyrics of the German (and Allied!) wartime ballad ‘Lili Marlene,’ that poignant tune ironically sung in German by (Swedish-born German) Lale (“Lolly”) Anderson, and in English by (German-born American) Marlene Dietrich. Classic Roadsters’ own literature points out, however, that the name was derived from the fact that in 1936 Daimler Benz was commissioned to design a personalized model for sultry international film star Marlene Dietrich, and thus for a historical touch the title “Marlene” seemed an appropriate sobriquet. Downsized a bit, and lighter and more nimble than the Teutonic original, the Marlene is the marvelous motorcar for enthusiasts who appreciate the timeless styling of the 1930s Daimler, yet require more durability and economy and practicality for everyday driving.” (end of quote). This Classic Roadster comes in White coachwork, black top, black interiorwith a complete roll-up chassis (including Ford Mustang 4cyl engine, auto-transmission, steering column, wiring harness, wheels and front/rear ends) and easy to assemble manuals. All body parts in their original wrapping ready for easy assembly. You could be riding this beauty in 3-weeks or less. The Roadster Kit is located in Pompano Beach, Florida. Also have a gorgeous 2-tone 4-seater Baron Kit for sale (see other eBay listing). Contact Emil at (954)312-7034 or reply via my eBay listing. Please leave a message and will reply promptly.
