Buying A Mercedes Benz 300B

A truly massive automobile for its time, the Mercedes Benz 300 was the first completely new offering from Daimler-Benz following World War II. With an emphasis primarily on engineering, the 300 featured an overhead-cam 3.0-liter inline six that would later gain praise in the 300SL racing and road-going sports cars. Though the Mercedes 300 remained in production for a decade, in its last years it was mostly an indulgence for the firm. The first of the specification changes happened in 1954 when Mercedes introduced the Mercedes Benz 300B. While there were no visible external changes, the 300 B offered higher compression, 10 more horsepower and a pair of Solex carburetors. Additional upgrades included front door vents and upgraded finned brake drums.
