Mercedes-Benz 300 1955 Konrad Adenauer 1:18

Product Dimensions: 11.06 x 4.02 x 3.50 in.

Model History and Information: Produced from 1951 to 1957, this full-size W186 luxury saloon served as Mercedes-Benz's post-war flagship, with 12,190 examples built. Introduced at the 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show, it paired modernist coachwork with a proven X-frame chassis and a 3.0-litre overhead-cam straight-six engine. The car became closely linked to Konrad Adenauer, first Chancellor of West Germany, who ran custom cabriolet, saloon and landaulet versions as official state cars during his 1949 to 1963 tenure, giving rise to its lasting Adenauer nickname. Technologically advanced for its day, it lent its engine and suspension design to the contemporary 300 SL sports car, which used its own dedicated tubular space-frame chassis, cementing the 300's reputation for engineering excellence and prestige.
