Vehicle Description
This Mercedes-Benz 300TE Station Wagon was purchased new by Shirley
Temple-Black in 1989. Shirley Temple was one of the biggest stars
in Hollywood, and she appeared in dozens of movies. She has a star
on Hollywood's Walk of Fame and she remains an American film icon
today. Not only was she known for her work on the silver screen,
but also as a United States ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia.
This vehicle was her actual diplomat vehicle and still has the
Czech flag receptacle installed on the fender. This Mercedes has
its original paint and bodywork, and is powered by a 3.2-liter
inline 6-cylinder engine offering 217hp, backed by an automatic
transmission. It's equipped with 4-wheel power-assisted hydraulic
disc brakes with ABS. It is well-optioned with a tan interior, air
conditioning and a sunroof. It is also equipped with the optional
Acceleration Slip Control for secure traction. This car was in Mrs.
Temple-Black's care until her passing in 2014. Included with the
car are copies of the registration documents in Shirley Temple's
name.
