NHTSA Receives Petition for Importation of Nonconforming Mercedes-Benz 500SL and SL500 Cars

Summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has accepted a petition from Mercedes-Benz to allow the importation of 1993 500SL and 1994-1995 SL500 models that do not meet all U.S. safety standards, as they are substantially similar to previously certified vehicles and can be modified to comply with regulations.
