Buying a 1954 Mercedes Benz 300S Cabriolet

Mercedes introduced the 300 series in the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1951. Only 203 Cabriolets were produced between 1951 and 1955 at a price above $12,000, roughly the price of a house at the time. With annual incomes averaging $3,100 a year, the 1954 Mercedes Benz 300S Cabriolet was exclusive to say the least. Mercedes designed it with a body on frame construction, making it a gem for collectors wishing to restore every nut and bolt or anyone looking for an immaculate recreation. The name 300 is derived from liter capacity, and the car is fitted with a 3.0 liter straight 6 producing 170 horsepower. Luxury features adorned the car; including the first ever rear load leveling suspension, a VHF mobile telephone, and a dictation machine. Today, luxury cars often press the envelope in technology and innovation to stay ahead of competitors. Thirty years after its production, vehicles were advertising features such as load leveling suspension to attract luxury buyers. How many people knew that Mercedes was producing cars with this option nearly thirty years prior?
