The 300 Cabriolet D was among the most expensive and luxurious cars available on the German market at the time. Furthermore, the Cabriolet D was one of the rarest body-styles to grace a Mercedes-Benz chassis. Its convertible sedan setup was typically reserved for heads of state and board members. Fast and elegant, it was one of very few contemporary vehicles capable of carrying six passengers in comfort at sustained high speeds. It was the car of choice among West German government officials, and throughout Europe and the USA was widely favored by businessmen, financiers and politicians. Indeed, 'Adenauer' became the 300 saloon/limousine's unofficial model name, after German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, its most famous customer. The 300 Cabriolet d version was among the world's most expensive automobiles of its day. As one of just 591 Cabriolet Ds produced, this top-of-the-line 300 model represents quite a rare and exciting opportunity for its next caretaker.
