Selling A Mercedes Benz 300S

 

The Mercedes Benz 300S and 300SC series cars were considered top-of-the-line cars in their day and are today some of the most desired and rare Mercedes Benz autos. Highly desired by collectors, the Mercedes Benz 300S was first shown in October 1951 at the Paris Auto Show. Relying heavily on the technology of the Type 300, the 300S still offered the old-world, hand crafted workmanship and classic styling that had become iconic over the decades. The Mercedes 300 S was offered originally in two body styles; a fixed roof Coupe with a beautifully formal air, and convertible with functional landau bars. Later in its production, a third style would be specified, which had no landau bars and a top that completely disappeared when folded. Always advanced for its day, Mercedes raised the engine compression of the 300B, 300C, and 300D models to 7.8:1 using three Solex downdraft carburetors. This resulted in 150 horsepower at 5000rpm, giving the 300S a top speed of almost 180km/h.
