This is a diplomatic embassy car. This is a 60's era CEO's car. This is a high government officials car. This is absolutely pure class. This would have been parked in front of some very expensive hotels, or mansions in the day. Very beautiful. This is the embodiment of the old adage, "They don't make them like they used to". Thank you.

I think it was often called the Adenauer model since Konrad Adenauer served as the first chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1949 to 1963 so this is what he was often seen in.

@wagonmaster1974 15 күн бұрын

For the diesel variant of the 300, there is a control knob on the dashboard which when pulled out controls a rod/cable/switch. The rod/cable connects to the fuel pump and valve, which allows the engine to start. The switch, at the first position, activates the glow plugs, if necessary. If it is warm enough to disallow the use of the glow plugs, you pull past the first stage to the second stage, which engages the starter. As a side note, on the opposite side of the dashboard [to the driver's left side of the steering column], there is a chrome shrouded opening about the size of a silver dollar, behind which is a coil that glows along with the engine glow plugs, so you can see when they are heated. There is also a manual fast idle which may be used for while the engine warms to operating temperature. The way to turn off the engine is to push the knob back in. This turns off the fuel supply. Yes, the engine will run without the key being turned on, or even in the ignition switch, once started. The ignition controls the electricity for the glow plugs, as well as the starter and other electricals in the car. The engine, being a diesel, will run without electricity, as it has a mechanical fuel pump and injectors.

I worked for Mercedes-Benz Canada during the early 1970s. The side windows on your 300 were removable so that "royalty" or politicians in the rear seat could see and be seen by the masses on the sidewalk. We sold and maintained a model 600, the "Grosser Mercedes", prized possession of the manufacturer of the Ski-Doo snowmobile. It was even longer and more imposing than your 300, with beautiful but understated interior trim. Its pneumatic suspension suffered in cold Canadian winters, and that fact led to this particular car spending its winters indoors.

I almost bought a car like this one back in the 1970's. Instead, I got the SE coupe which was more sporty looking. At the time these cars were quite inexpensive, around $5-10,000. Today, if you could find a 300D in convertible form [they made a few of them] a restored example would probably cost you several hundreds of thousands of dollars!
