Completed in 1971, this 280 SL was delivered new through L.P.
Evans Mercedes-Benz of Miami, Florida, to Donald G.
Rosenberg, M.D., the longtime medical director of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
Over the course of his distinguished career, Dr.
Rosenberg helped transform emergency medical response in the United States, pioneering advancements in pre-hospital care including paramedic-administered EKG interpretation, clot-busting drug deployment, and the implementation of what became the nation's largest AED program in police vehicles.
Under his leadership, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue emerged as a national model for emergency medical services.
A copy of the car's original Florida title confirms issuance on 18 May 1971.
The accompanying factory equipment reflects a thoughtfully specified example, ordered in elegant Blue (903) over a Parchment (144) MB-Tex interior and equipped with a matching removable hardtop.
