Sheryl Crow is auctioning off her 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster. The singer is auctioning off the classic car next month and that the proceeds will go to the Joplin Schools Recovery Fund.
The singer has donated her 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 Sl Roadster to auction house Gooding & Co., with proceeds from the sale going to help rebuild the devastated city’s schools.
“After the tornado in Joplin, I was moved to help rebuild a city so close to where I grew up in Missouri,” says Crow. “My hope is that the auction of my 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Roadster will bring in funds to help rebuild the schools in the area.”
Gooding & Co. says Crow’s car is white with a white hard top, black soft top and sport whitewall tires. The car, which the musician bought in 2005, is estimated to bring up to $100,000 when it goes under the hammer next month August, 11.
Joplin was left ravaged in May (11) after a massive twister ripped through the city and claimed the lives of more than 120 people.
