BARBRA STREISAND


With a career spanning over six decades, Barbra Streisand has achieved huge success in various facets of the entertainment industry, and she is among the few celebrities to be awarded a Grammy, Emmy, Tony, and Oscar Award. Streisand started her career performing in Broadway theaters and nightclubs in the early 1960s. After her guest appearances in several television shows, she signed up with Columbia Records. Later on, Streisand released her debut, The Barbara Streisand Album, in 1963, which was credited with two Grammy Awards that included Album of the Year.

Over the years, Streisand has topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart five times with number one singles such as Evergreen, You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, The Way We Were, Woman in Love, and No More Tears (Enough is Enough). As her career flourished, it’s essential for a celebrity like her to have a car for daily use. Streisand bought a 1976 Mercedes-Benz 459SL and owned it until 1999. Its engine has a straight-six Otto cycle with reliable fuel injection that has a 142 brake horsepower with a four-speed automatic transmission. Its top speed is 215 km/h.
