Mercedes-Benz 300D Sedan
Mercedes-Benz 300D Sedan https://hymanltd.com/vehicles/5689-19...
Advertised in the period as “The Most Elegant Motorcar in the World”, the W189 Mercedes-Benz 300-series was regarded by many to be the finest engineered and constructed automobile of its time. Early on in production, the 300 earned the nickname “Adenauer”, from the German Chancellor of the same name who had no fewer than six in his fleet. Typically for Mercedes-Benz of the same era, the 300 was substantially strong and overbuilt. Revised and enhanced through several series, the final iteration being the W189, or the 300d, had several distinct features that set it apart from earlier models. For starters, the new, longer hood gave the car a more graceful look, while providing room for an updated version of Mercedes-Benz’s 3-liter SOHC six-cylinder engine now fitted with Bosch fuel injection derived from the 300SL sports car. The wheelbase grew by four inches to align the car with the likes of the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud and afford rear seat occupants plenty of additional legroom. The chassis was so strong, that Mercedes-Benz used a pillar-less design that gave a very stately and elegant appearance with all four windows lowered. When it was new, the 300d cost three times that of a similar Cadillac, showing this was a serious automobile reserved for the wealthiest of clientele.
