300 Cabriolet D [ Ссылка ]

The grand and imposing 300 series was a landmark automobile for Mercedes Benz, not because it was one of the finest machines they ever built, or that it became the transport of choice for heads of state and captains of industry, but because it was the first totally new car to be produced by the Stuttgart company since the end of World War II. It is difficult to imagine a more appropriate machine with which to make a comeback statement. The rarest of the early 300 models is the four-door Cabriolet D, as is presented here. The quality of the construction was on par with the pre-war 540K. The 300 was trimmed in sumptuous leather, had stunning hand-finished hardwood detailing and triple-plated solid brass brightwork. The engineering was also on par with the great pre-war machines, a highlight being the vast, landau-iron assisted folding top and pillarless silhouette. Every one of the 591 Cabriolet D’s sold between 1951 and 1955 was hand-built to order at the Stuttgart works, with a level of care and attention to detail that is still evident today.
