ALE KARROSSERITEKNIK
During the late 1940s, Daimler-Benz AG began focusing on building another powerful, ele-
gant limousine for the luxury market, something in the spirit of the pre-war 770K. The 300 had
been on the drawing board since 1938, and a prototype Cabriolet was shown at the Frankfurt
Auto Show in April 1951. Production of the four-door Limousines and Cabriolet d began that
November and ran through 1962, with 11,430 cars built.
This production average of 1,000 cars a year was definitely low, so updates were phased in
as required and logged in by chassis number, a common DGAB procedure then. When signi-
ficant changes were made, the model designation changed. The original 300 (no letter) was
built as a 1951 to 1954 model; the 300b was built for 1954 and 1955, and the 300c for 1955
through 1957, and the 300d for 1957 to 1962.
The 300 quickly became one of the leading prestige cars of its era, and standard-wheel-base
cars were bought by Frank Lloyd Wright, Yul Brynner, Al Hirt, Prime Minister Nehru, and the
Shah of Iran, to name just a few.
Among the many heads of state, royalty, captains of industry, entertainers, and other promi-
nent individuals who relied on these cars was West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
Like certain other Mercedes-Benz models, the 300 was advertised and sold with different
body style names in Germany and elsewhere. For the sake of marketing, the Limousine and
the Cabriolet D in Germany became the more familiar sounding Hardtop and Convertible for
the U.S. Elegant sales literature remains to the tell the story. The last of this upright, hono-
rable line was the 300d. By the mid-1950s the original 300s conservative styling and other
modest features were showing their age. More and more 300s were being exported to the
U.S., where the sweeping lines and driving comfort ranked high among buyers expectations.
In August 1957, DBAG began building the totally updated 300d.
To provide more rear leg room and a smoother ride, the new models W189 chassis had a
3.9-inch longer wheelbase. In the American vogue, the Hardtops dramatic new roofline-with
no visible center pillar-combined with removable rear quarter windows to create a pillarless
panorama, sometimes called opera windows.
