Daimler-Benz's flagship in the 1950s was the 300 series, favored by Heads of State and Captains of Industry alike. The first luxury Mercedes, a coveted model among Mercedes-Benz collectors. It combines the typical German engineering, build quality, and performance of their cars with the luxury and comfort made exclusively for dignitaries. The 300B was not inexpensive by any standards, as it cost way more than any of the new Cadillac at that time, but superior in performance to the rival Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, so it's beauty and well rounded performance made it the car to have in 1955 for a person of global influence. Its high cost also contributed to its low production numbers with only limited numbers of units being produced and many of those cars being lost to use, and the elements over the years. Of those cars produced, only fraction of them made it to the North America. That make them ultra rare collectors. The 300 was considered to be one of the most sophisticated cars of its time, and still today it has a devoted following in the automotive collector car world. It is the perfect combination of performance and luxury.

Arguably one of most sought after classic vehicles.
