What's special about this Mercedes? Tell me and gain a point!
I've never seen one with that trim piece that trails back from the

That's not what I am looking for...but you can see the special feature!
"Eye-brow" or sunshade on top of the windshield.

This is the one and only fiberglass Gullwing constructed by Mercedes-Benz!
Well, we now know what it is - but why? In all seriousness, why would Daimler-Benz want to make one?

It was a relatively new material for building cars out of at the time and perhaps it just seemed like a good idea? Maybe they thought that might be the way forward, as indeed it was for very low volume sports car manufacturers, although for few companies like DB AG.
