Mercedes-Benz Recognizes a Film Icon in Motion

Hollywood’s love affair with motion is not exclusive to pictures, but also with the wheels belonging to the iconic Mercedes-Benz SL, which has played a role in over 150 movies and television programs in its lifespan not to mention fame on studio lots and the streets of Tinseltown.

The legendary SL, for a span of six decades, continues to be one of most iconic and desired cars in Hollywood. Its first role was garnered in the late 1950s and now has reinvented itself with a complete redesign for 2013. Each model of the SL franchise over its 60 year history has made multiple appearances on the silver screen starring in many notable films like High Society with Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby and The Rookie with Clint Eastwood.

This Academy Awards season, Mercedes-Benz is commemorating the SL anniversary by supporting film restoration through a contribution to The Film Foundation (www.film-foundation.org) in addition to creating an SL vehicle retrospective and an exclusive reveal of the 2013 SL to be seen by those attending Mercedes-Benz annual invite-only Oscar viewing party at the Soho House in West Hollywood.

“We’re grateful to Mercedes-Benz for its support of The Film Foundation,” said Executive Director Margaret Bodde. “The foundation is committed to restoring and preserving as many films as possible. We want to make sure that movies, which are such an essential part of our cultural heritage, are still around for people to enjoy — not just today, but far into the future.”

Between 1958 and 1975, the SL Roadster made 53 appearances in feature films and television programs that starred many of Hollywood’s most talented actors and actresses such as Ava Gardiner and Fred Astaire. Beyond the earlier decades, the SL appeared in cult hits like Beverly Hills Cop, Cannon Ball Run and The Flamingo Kid.

“Classic films are similar to vintage cars in that they are a window into the past, whether communicating society’s aspirations or people’s style and taste during that era,” said Michael Kunz, manager of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Irvine California. “Restoring Mercedes-Benz vehicles is part of our DNA and we take great personal pride and determination in helping keep thousands of Mercedes-Benz classic cars on the road today and true to their originality.”

New(er) movie that I (had) to watch with my wife and daughter.

Monte Carlo... 

With Salina Gomez.   Many scenes with a very nice blue 230sl.
The guy is some type of prince or something that is supposed to
watch over the star...   yada, yada, yada.....

Anyway he drives her around in the pagoda.

French film - Les Lyonnais (A Gang Story in English release)

Full of some very nice early 70s cars including many Citroen DS and MBs (inc a Pagoda), Porsche, Peugeots, Simcas...  I wathched parts of it over the shoulder of a fellow passenger on a flight from Geneva the other night

Take a look at the beautiful Signal Red 1970 280 driven by Jerry Seinfeld on "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee." The short film co-stars Alec Baldwin. Just Google the title of the show and the content should appear. Enjoy!

looks like Pagoda in the Ferrero Rocher has the same color like mine , but it must be a 230 or 250 I guess?

I saw the entire film during flight back home Paris Seoul Noumea fifteen days ago and noticed the gold pagoda coming in front of a castle but nobody watched over my shoulder...

Just watched on HBO on March 28, a filmed in 2011 movie called "Monte Carlo" staring Selea Gomel.  Had a silver/cream 230 SL.  Many scenes throughout the movie had the Pagoda driving all around the winding roads Monte Carlo, of course with the top down.  Even had a scene where the SL drives up to one of the 4 star hotels and the leading man and woman get out of it to go into the hotel.  Wow, the doors sounded really great then they shut, thump.

I haven't seen anyone mention, "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy".  A brief glimpse when they go to mainland Europe.  Hard to tell the model.

PS.  I do love the Citroen as well.
