1954 MERCEDES BENZ 300
The Mercedes 300 Series
The Mercedes 300 series was the top of the line for post-war cars in the 50's and 60's. The cars were big, powerful
and packed with advanced features. Most often, the cars were used as limousines or transportation for heads of
state. From 1952 to 1962 only around 6, 200 Mercedes 300 sedans were built! That makes this a very rare and
desirable car for any collector. Not many 300's exist in this condition. This is a rare chance to buy a reliable
driving show-car that is very unique.
