1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SC Coupe

The 300 S, the first postwar prestige car built by Mercedes-Benz, made its debut at the Paris Auto Salon in 1951. By 1957, the 300 SC was the top-of-the-range, a luxurious Grand Tourer in the best tradition of the prewar 540K. The 300 range included a two-seat roadster Saloon and a Cabriolet, but the more powerful 300 SC Coupe was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955. A total of 98 of these Coupes were produced by Sindelfingen, the factory coachwork division for Mercedes. The 300 SC cost more than double the price of the most expensive Cadillac at the time. It was even more expensive than its stablemate, the 300 SL Gullwing. Consequently, this 300 SC Coupe with its factory-installed sunroof is one of only nine sold in the United States.

This car was restored in 2015-2016 and was brought back to its original metallic medium grey color.

The car is powered by a 2996 cc overhead cam six-cylinder engine producing 115 horsepower.
