This 1936 Mercedes-Benz 500K Cabriolet B was given its coachwork by the Sindelfingen Body Works factory. The Cabriolet B had seater for four or five, two long doors, and four fully functioning windows. This car is a late example of the series, and has sleeker styling than the earlier Cabriolet Bs.
This Cabriolet B is finished in a duotone paint scheme and features factory-optional chromed wire wheels.
In the 1980s, the car was in Germany; by the 1990s, it was in the United States. In June of 2000, a collector from Holland purchased the car, selling it a few years later to a collector in Ireland, before it was purchased by the current owner in England.
In 2008, this Mercedes-Benz 500K was brought to the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, CA. It was estimated to sell for $1,000,000-$1,250,000. The lot was sold for $1,045,000, including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2009
