Between 1952 and 1955, Mercedes-Benz produced just 203 of the 300 S Cabriolet, rendering the model significantly rare than the 300 SL Gullwing or Roadster. Each 300 S was hand-built by the company's craftsmen and, as the pinnacle of the Mercedes-Benz luxury touring product line, it cost around $13,400 - more than the average house at that time!
This example was originally purchased by Karl Gruning, CEO of KAGRA, a hosiery factory in Abensberg, Germany. The current owner acquired the car in 1999 from a U.S. serviceman who imported the car from Germany in 1962. The car has since been restored according to the original build sheet, complete with Ivory paint (DB 608) and Red Leather (1088).
