Side Glances: Gullwings and the ghosts of Sindelfingen

An account of the 50th anniversary celebrations of MercedesE SL-Series is presented, where guests of honor included Pablo PicassoEs son, Duncan, and photographer David Douglas Duncan, who popularized Gullwings in a 1956 magazine article titled 'Ghosts of Sindelfingen'.
