Buying a 1956 Mercedes Benz 300SC Coupe

First appearing on the luxury car scene in 1955, the Mercedes Benz 300SC Coupe, Roadster and Cabriolet models were big cars for big occasions; their price tag allowing only the most affluent buyers of the day to even consider a purchase. Opulent in every way, the 300SC Coupe would use unparalleled craftsmanship, world-class materials, visual elegance and exceptional attention to detail to captivate onlookers and buyers from around the globe. This car commands attention. Under the hood, the 1956 Mercedes Benz 300SC Coupe would feature an inline-six engine delivering 173hp and Mercedes Benz’s low-pivot independent suspension in the rear. Prices for the 300SC would nearly double when compared to its 300S predecessor, which was already nearly twice the price of American luxury cars of the era. This did not stop the world’s elite from clamoring to purchase one. In total, only 98 Coupes would be manufactured through April 1958, making them exceptionally rare.

If you’re thinking about buying a 1956 Mercedes Benz 300SC Coupe, The Beverly Hills Car Club is happy to provide the following Buyer’s Tips to help get you started.
