The Mercedes-Benz Type 300 (chassis codes W186, W188, and W189) were the company's largest and most-prestigious models throughout the 1950s. Analogous to the top of today's S-Class, the Type 300 cars were elegant, powerful, exclusive, and expensive.
The four-door "W186" Type 300 had its launch at the Frankfurt Motor Show in April 1951. It was 5 meters long with chrome bampers and radiator grille, and also had a famous star on the hood. All this made the car magnificent and prestigious. The Mercedes-Benz was the largest, the most expensive and the fastest car, built in Western Germany after World War II. The limousine was often referred to as Adenauers after Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Introduced in August 1957, the 300d was the linear successor to the 300c, with a longer wheelbase, fuel injection, and unique hardtop configuration transforming it into a pillarless phaeton.
An additional 4 inches of wheelbase provided greater rear legroom equaling that of the long wheelbase model Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud.
The engine of the 300d produced 180 PS (130 kW; 180 hp) at 5500 rpm. Automatic transmission was standard. Power brakes, power steering, and Artic-Kar air-conditioning were added as options.
A total of 3,077 300d models (priced at DM 27,000) was produced through March 1962, along with 65 special-order 300d-based Cabriolet Ds (DM 35,500). Еhe 300d was ultimately replaced as M-B flagship by the 600 pullman "Grand Mercedes".
