1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 S Coupe

Chassis Number: 188011.3500356
Engine Number: 188920.3500363

This Mercedes-Benz 300S Coupe was delivered new on March 16, 1954. Its destination was the United States market and was delivered as a 'direct sale' to a Mr. Hatch. It arrived looking identical as it appears in modern times, in a 'graubeige', or 'beige grey' hue, with a green leather interior. It was given a restoration in the early 1990s has seen limited use over the ensuing couple of decades.

Mercedes-Benz built just 760 examples of the 300S/Sc (560/200) between 1951 and 1958. From their introduction in 1951, through to the transition to the Sc models, Mercedes built 560 total for all three variations. The Coupe proved to be the most popular with just 216 being delivered.
