Mercedes-Benz 500

500 SEC CABRIO 1 of 116

This very rare 1985 Mercedes Benz 500 SEC Cabriolet was built by R. Straman Company, a Richard Straman custom coach building company located in Costa Mesa, California. Between 1983 and 1990 he built 116 of these 500 SEC Cabriolet’s. Reportedly for this 1985 model only 10 were built.
As with most automobile manufacturers during the 1980’s, Mercedes Benz didn’t build a cabriolet. The last four seat cabriolet build by the Mercedes Benz factory was 1971.
The 500 SEC was the top of the line luxury sports coupe in 1985 with superior handling, great performance and a comfortable ride. The estimated cost of this Cabriolet new in 1985 was $100,000. Converting these very luxury sports coupes into cabriolet’s really made them unique and special. This is a collectible motorcar for a true connoisseur of elegant German motorcars.
