The Mercedes-Benz 300, also known as the “Adenauer,” was the top-of-the-line model for Mercedes-Benz in the 1950s. Named after Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, who frequently used this model, it was produced in limited numbers—just 3,077 units. The car is equipped with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine and a 4-speed manual gearbox.
The navy blue and silver two-tone paint shows signs of use but still highlights the car’s classic design. The exterior includes original hubcaps and chrome trim. Inside, the red interior provides contrast to the body colour. The dashboard features wood veneer and chrome details, typical of the design style of that era. Overall, this 300 Adenauer offers a combination of classic styling, period features, and limited production numbers.
