1937 Mercedes-Benz Type 320 Cabriolet B

  • Chassis Number: 172263
  • Engine Number: 172263
The Mercedes-Benz Type 320 was available in three Cabriolet versions, designated by code letters. The racy and relatively expensive sports version was the Cabriolet A. The Cabriolet B was a two-door, 4-window style that front and rear seating. The third type was the Cabriolet D, a four-door, four-window style that was a true Roadster Model.

This 1937 Mercedes-Benz 320 Cabriolet B was shipped to Japan when new, where it was assigned to the German Embassy. It was retained by the Embassy for many years. In the 1990s, it was obtained by a private and prestigious motor museum in Japan. It was retained by the museum for many years. In 2008, it was offered for sale at the 'Quail Lodge, A Sale of Exceptional Motorcars and Automobilia', marking its first appearance to North America.

It is in original condition and has been very well preserved. At auction, the car was sold for $260,000 inclusive of buyer's premium.
