I've never seen one with that trim piece that trails back from the
headlight on the fender or are you looking for something we can't see?

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.
