What an amazing, stunningly beautiful car. Sadly, we have been inundated with some horrible looking cars on our roads in recent years. Most designers fail miserably.
You are soooo correct! Mine is a Pewter Gray 2003 CLK 320 Cabriolet with black soft - top & gray leather interior in mint condition always in a temperature controlled garage.
@James H German cars have their own, individually styling without American influence. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Audi, Wiesmann and old german brands like Horch, Maybach, Borgward, Glas and other brands.
Classic choice.. One of a kind was owned by Hollywood royalty William Clark Gable, his 300Sc Cabriolet A (W188) is full of star quality :) The facts : Engine M 199 2.996cc, 6-cyl, Power 173bhp @ 5.400rpm, Torque Ib ft @ 4.300rpm, Transmission 4-speed, RWD. Weight 1.780 kg, 0-62 mph 14.0 sec. Top Speed 112mph. Fuel Consumption 22.6mpg. Years Produced 1956 - 1957. This is the most rare variant, of which just 49 rolled of the production line. :)
This is perhaps among the best Deutsch cars of the 1950's. Way better than the rivaling Jaguar Mark Series (which I still like) and the Yankee Cadillacs and Lincolns.
You have to be careful with the comparisons. Every brand of cars has its supporters. But look: The 1953 Cadillac and Lincoln, which you seem to look at less, cost a little more than half an MB 300 S. However, they were much roomier, more comfortable, better suspension. And power, acceleration and maximum speed do not talk. My father had a Cadillac Fleetwood 1952 Hydra Maticy, an uncle had precisely one MB 300 S 1953. The Cadillac defeated by far the MB in everything related to performance. (110 mph versus 95 mph). The Cadillac spent just a little more gas when its price was very cheap. I think even the appearance of the MB 300 S made it more like a Yankee car from the 1940s. Finally, remember that in the Pan-American Race, the Mercedes Benz factory had to compete with the MB 300 SL, a race car, to defeat Cadillac and Lincoln
the 1956 continental mk2 was far superior in every way in comparison to this merc. and the 1957 cadillac eldorado brougham was more advanced than any mercedes product until the 90s
@@chrisxaf1237 What you say is very true. Cadillac El Dorado and Lincoln Continental Mk were formidable competitors for the Mercedes Benz 300, defeating it in many aspects of great importance, and all this costing only a fraction of its price. Let's accept that appearance is a matter of taste. Let's look at the power, acceleration and top speed. In 1957, Cadillac and Lincoln had about 300 H.P .; Mercedes 300 had just 180 H.P. Cadillac and Lincoln exceeded 115 miles an hour. M.B. 300 barely 95 m.p.h. Gasoline consumption was practically the same in those three cars, at a time when oil and its derivatives were very cheap. We must remember that in the Pan American Race, in 1953, Mercedes needed to participate with the 300 SL, a race car, to defeat Lincoln and Cadillac. Regarding automatic transmissions, Cadillac and Lincoln had excellent transmissions for many years. Mercedes 300 only offered in 1957 an automatic box of American manufacture (DT Warner Gears or Hydramatic to choice, the latter was Cadillac). The Mercedes 300 is an excellent car, but you can not underestimate other cars of equivalent quality, and that were also quite cheaper
Мерседес брал своё тщательностью проработки и изготовления! Через 10-15 усиленной эксплуатации, Мерседес меньше изнашивался.И к тому же он # 1 в мире по факту появления на свет!А это сейчас,когда потребительские характеристики авто более менее схожи, по моему не маловажным фактор! К тому японцы пошли по пути Мерседеса.В Африке или на Ближнем Востоке можно встретить таких "японцев" производство которых уже давным давно снято.И данный факт положительно сказался на самих японских производителях,прибавив к этому и умеренную цену за продукцию,они завоевали весь мир. А на Мерседес "не надо катить бочку"- эта марка уже одним фактом того,что сотрудничала с 3 - м Рейхом и осталась и продолжает существовать и радовать истенных любителей автомобилей,уже заслуживает уважения!
Sinceramente não percebo como deixam aquele sr. pegar num carro que vale uns milhares e arranhar a caixa ao meter a m/atrás seguida do o deixar ir abaixo se fosse meu não lhe tocava. quanto ao resto isto já não é mecãnica mas relojoaria de alto nivel!!!
I am a little surprised that that expensive of a car would be transported "open air" vs in an enclosed auto transporter. It is a beautiful car though. The part of the video with the car driving around is just wasted time, is it supposed to be an add for the GoPro hero 3+? I would have liked a tour around the car to see the inside with the top down and some commentary/history about the car. I don't know why anyone would subscribe to this RUclips channel, it is totally lacking in content.
Absolute high-class and pure fine german engineering. Bravíssimo!

One of the most beautiful cars Mercedes has ever been building! Pure beauty!
Modern day supercars are like expensive mobile phone but Classic vintage are like precious jewelry!
Well said

Absolutely stunning car
Beautiful !!
Extremely beautiful car. You can see the styling influence of the American business coupes of the 30's and 40's.

Gorgeous automobile rare,will not see a lot of these Mercedes Benz on the road definitely a classic!
Simplesmente magnífico e extraordinário 😍😍👏👏👏
Shame we didn't see the inside or the top down

Beautiful automobile classique i have a one
A 12 minutes drive around the neighborhood. Hmm... I would have preferred 12 minutes of footage of the beautiful car.
Precioso.
Real motor car.
Joyas!!!!
Goooooosh
Merci de la Belgique 🤩🤩🤩
The car is black or dark blue ?
I don't see...
Which place is this ??

Très jolie voiture, mais pourquoi ne pas montrer l'intérieur ?
We would love to see the car not the streets my friend
the headrests look, to the least, funny
Not standard. Looks goofy and impairs rear visibility.
Muy bonito el sector porque del carro no se vio casi nada
La mercedes c'est la mercedes et il n'y a pas mieux que la mercedes
تحفة هذه تحفة
Looks like O.C. California.
alleine der Klang des Motors ist umwerfend, viel mehr hat man nicht gesehen, bzw. gehört
wrong place for delivery shud be my place
샛히야~~내부도 보여줘야지
While this is a TRULY AWESOME Car, the video was absolutely PATHETIC.
No se ve ni un poquito del interior !!! 🥱🥱
Wer hat denn bloß den Amis beigepuhlt,daß wertvolle alte Autos Weißwandreifen haben müssen?
Weil sie die original auch hatten.
To jest nie samowite dzieło sztuki (BAJKA)
lada niva much better....
รถรุ่นนี้ไฟเลี้ยวหน้าไม่ใช่ของมันนะ
The car is great but who needs a tour of the neighborhood. More car less putting around. Boring. 😲👎
