Selling a 1955 Mercedes Benz 300B Cabriolet

 

During the Mercedes Benz 300’s eleven-year production run, the car underwent several specification changes. In 1954, the Mercedes 300 was succeeded by the 300B. Both the 1954 and 1955 Mercedes Benz 300B Cabriolet models externally had no changes; however, they had 10 more horsepower, larger brakes, higher compression and dawned Solex carburetors. Another specification change happened shortly after, and in 1955 the 300C would be introduced. In total, during the 1955 model-year, 59 units of the 300 and 300B were produced. These low production numbers, when paired the exceptional beauty and undeniable luxury of the Type 300, make it easy to understand why these cars are so desirable. Whether it was the sleek lines and curvature of the 300 that attracted you or the desire to own a piece of Mercedes Benz history, as an owner of a 1955 Mercedes Benz 300B Cabriolet, you can understand the appeal of these cars.
