The 1952 Mercedes-Benz 300D Cabriolet embodies the class and craftsmanship with which Mercedes-Benz established its name in the luxury automotive world of the 1950s. This model was a paragon of elegance and exclusivity at the time, thanks in part to its limited production run. Only 440 examples of the 300D Cabriolet were built, making it a rare and sought-after collector’s car. Its elegance is evident in every detail, from the streamlined body lines to the generous convertible top that perfectly showcases the classic design.

Mercedes-Benz was already groundbreaking in performance at the time, and the 300 was praised for its 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, which offered a smooth and powerful driving experience. With a peak output of approximately 115 hp, the 300D was capable of smooth yet powerful performance, a remarkable achievement for a luxury convertible of the 1950s.

The refinement of the 300D Cabriolet is evident in the quality of the materials and the precision of the finish. Every element in the interior has been meticulously crafted, from the woodwork to the leather, exuding luxury without being overdone. With the 300D, Mercedes-Benz targeted customers who appreciated not only its exterior splendor but also expected a solid technical foundation.

Besides its aesthetic appeal, the 300D Cabriolet is beloved for its rarity and status as one of the last great pre-war designs, even though it was introduced after the war. This model was a direct derivative of the prestigious Mercedes-Benz 300 “Adenauer,” named after the German Chancellor who frequently drove it. For many, the 300 symbolizes the post-war reconstruction and renewed self-confidence of Mercedes-Benz.

Today, the Mercedes-Benz 300D Cabriolet is a car that commands respect and admiration. It’s a car that not only offers beautiful looks but also represents a piece of automotive heritage.

This Cabriolet D was superbly restored by German specialists between 2011 and 2012, with a bare metal respray and dip-paint application. Receipts for much of the work are available. It is equipped with a push-button radio and is in excellent overall condition. Many parts of the interior appear original and exude a beautiful patina. It still has its matching numbers. Few cars are as enjoyable to cruise on the highway as the magnificent 300. This is a beautiful example of an open four-door convertible. The car has been recently appraised and is listed as in excellent original condition. The car is registered in the Netherlands.
