I would like to thank all the lookers and bidders who appreciate this great piece of Mercedes history. The W196 'Silver Arrow' put Mercedes on top of the automotive world. The Silver Arrow became a famous model designation for many Merceds to come. This is a sculpture that will become the center piece of any room it's in. As stated before I am happy to assist the buyer and it will be well wrapped and shipped insured by UPS.$600 bid placed by @Drkkrkn

I am new to this site and not quite sure how the questions work, I had a question to my email as to the size of the base. The base is 15x7 Walnut and the case is 6" high. The actual piece is 11x4 and is cast in bronze. As an added note if the buyer preferes stainless bolts on the case rather than black I can change them.$250 bid placed by @mercedesmike
