Selling a 1955 Mercedes Benz 300C Cabriolet

 

Experiencing several variation changes throughout its eleven-year lifespan, the Mercedes Benz 300 was yet again updated in 1955 to the 300C. Debuted at the 1955 Frankfurt Auto Show, this would be the third-generation of the Type 300 and would be available as both a 300C Cabriolet and 300C Sedan. On the exterior, the only visible difference was the larger rear window and the increase in tire and rim size, yet under the hood a new automatic Borg-Warner DG 150M transmission with three gears would be added. The other major advancement for the 300C would be the change from a dual-joint swing axle to a single-joint, which ensured better driving and handling. With only three units of the 1955 Mercedes Benz 300C ever made, finding a 300C from this exact model-year can be quite the challenge. If you’re the owner of a 1955 Mercedes 300C Cabriolet, you can be certain there is demand for your car in today’s classic car market.
