Selling a 1955 Mercedes Benz 300B

 

A top of the line luxury automobile often reserved for the rich and famous, during its era the Mercedes Type 300 Adenauer was renowned for being a “big car for big occasions.” In fact, the 1955 Mercedes Benz 300B was an incredibly massive automobile for its time by both European and American standards. Introduced together with its smaller counterpart, the Mercedes 220, at the 1951 Frankfurt Auto Show, the Type 300 line created quite a stir among the public and the press. At the time, the Mercedes 300B sold for a base price of $6,500, which was quite high for even a luxury model. For example, even an American Cadillac with top of the line options during the same year was priced at approximately $5,900. However, this did not cause well-heeled buyers to shy away. Famous owners include Frank Lloyd Wright and Anthony Quinn, to name just a few.
