Extremely Original Unrestored 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300S Cabriolet:
Same Family Ownership Since 1974This 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300S
Cabriolet is one of the most original unrestored examples in
existence and has been under the same family ownership for the last
47 years. In 1974 the car was purchased from Alex Dearborn in
completely original condition. In 1986 the car received new lacquer
paint in the original color of graphite grey and a new top. The red
leather interior, mechanics, and chrome are all original. The
interior in particular is beautifully preserved with just the right
amount of patina. The car is currently running and driving
excellent. This is one of the most honest 300S Cabriolet we've come
across and it's certainly the most original to come to market in a
very long time. More expensive than the 300SL sports car and almost
double the price of the contemporary top-of-the-range Cadillac, the
Mercedes-Benz 300S was one of the worlds most exclusive
automobiles. Elegantly styled in the pre-war manner yet
technologically up-to-date, the 300S was built to the Stuttgart
firms uncompromising quality standards. Inevitably, production was
limited with only 760 examples of the 300S/Sc leaving the factory
between 1951 and 1958. This particular example represents a rare
and exciting opportunity to own a highly original 300S Cabriolet
out of long-term ownership. Highly Coveted and Collectible 300S
Cabriolet Retaining its Original Attractive Color Combination Out
