Buying a 1955 Mercedes Benz 300 Cabriolet

1955 Mercedes Benz 300 CabrioletThe legendary Mercedes Benz Type 300, which would run from 1951 to 1962, was first introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1951. It was unveiled as a four-door, six-windowed saloon car and as a four-door Cabriolet, which was described in the Mercedes Benz nomenclature as the Cabriolet D. From 1952 onwards, optional equipment features would include a sliding sunroof and a partition between the driver’s area and the passenger compartment. Oozing opulence and luxury, style and class, the 1955 Mercedes Benz 300 Cabriolet (and other model years) would become a status symbol for many VIPs in Germany and abroad, such as King Gustav Adolph of Sweden, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany Konrad Adenauer, and actors Gary Cooper, Errol Flynn and Fernandel. The most famous customer of all was perhaps Pope John Xxiii, whose specifically designed Type 300D Landaulet was one of the best-known Type 300 models. American Presidents from Dwight D. Eisenhower to John F. Kennedy were also driven through cheering crowds in the Cabriolet models.

1955 Mercedes Benz 300 Cabriolet Buyer’s Guide

If you’re thinking about buying a 1955 Mercedes Benz 300 Cabriolet of any condition, you’ve come to the right place for valuable Buyer’s Tips and information on these popular and exclusive collector cars. In total, only 59 examples of the 1955 Mercedes 300 Cabriolet and 300B Cabriolet (also released during 1555) rolled off the production floor, making them extremely rare in today’s classic car market. Many collectors will jump at the opportunity to purchase one of these luxurious classics as long as it is in relatively decent condition. When exploring any potential purchase, always remember that the body and trim can actually be more important than mechanics. This is because body panels are next to impossible to find and chrome trim pieces are some of the most expensive components to replace on the car. Mechanics, on the other hand, are more readily available and can be less expensive. Rust should also be a main factor in your decision to purchase a Type 300 model. You’ll want to find an example that has as little to no rust as possible. As with all classic cars, be sure to ask for any documentation the seller can provide that would establish and confirm provenance, maintenance history or restoration.
