Buying a 1953 Mercedes Benz 300S Roadster

In 1953, the Mercedes Benz 300S set the standard for luxury, performance and engineering. Glamorous and powerful, the 1953 Mercedes Benz 300S Roadster saw only 53 units roll off the production line and was reserved for the most affluent and influential buyers of the period. The 300S, despite being one of the most beautiful cars on the road, also offered the most power seen in a post-war design; it offered a fully independent rear suspension and more than 150 horsepower and could exceed 60mph in less than 15 seconds. Thats pretty quick for one of the largest cars on the road! When new, the price was a staggering $12,500, the cost of most houses. Today, the 300S Roadster can easily command a price tag into the six-figure range from fair condition. If you're thinking about buying a 1953 Mercedes Benz 300S Roadster, the team at The Beverly Hills Car Club can assist you in finding one of these rare European classics.

These areas include the box sections under the doorsills and, because of trapped moisture, the trunk floor and around the headlights.
