1952 Mercedes-Benz 300S Cabriolet



1952 Mercedes-Benz 300S Cabriolet One of 203



This 1952 Mercedes-Benz 300S Cabriolet is one of just 203 Cabriolet A examples produced through the seven-year production run. Just out of 50 year ownership and ready for a well deserved straightforward restoration. Black with tan interior. Built from 1952–1958, a magnificently engineered, hand-crafted cabriolet. In the esteemed lineage of flagship open-top Mercedes-Benzes, the 300 S stands out thanks to a powerful, high-compression six-cylinder engine and exquisite attention to detail with respect to build quality. A truly exceptional automobile, the Cabriolet A defines stylish luxury. Launched at the Paris Motor Show in October 1951, it was a development of the standard 300, which had made its own debut only a few months earlier at April’s Frankfurt Motor Show. The two-seater 300 S used a short-wheelbase version of the 300’s chassis and was powered by a 2,996 cc straight-six engine that breathed through triple Solex carburettors. It was an impressively robust engine that was designed to cope with the sustained high speeds of which the 300 S was capable. This rare, historically significant, and highly desirable Mercedes-Benz is not to be overlooked.
