[F Ronald Rader]

Mercedes-Benz  300SLs have soared in value during the past 12 months,
and the trend  continued on Friday afternoon, as a 1955 Mercedes-Benz
300SL alloy  Gullwing rocketed to a record $4.6m at Gooding &
Company's  Scottsdale Auction.

Bidding  on the rare car -- it is one of 29 alloy Gullwings -- started
at $2m  and quickly ratcheted up, achieving a final sale price of
$4.2m. Factoring in the 10% buyer's premium, the car changed hands for
$4.62m.
