The Mercedes-Benz 300 (1951-1962) was the "Großer Mercedes/Grande Mercedes" of the 50's, the largest
Mercedes-Benz in that time, and the predecessor to the Mercedes W100 600. It became very popular for heads of
government and monarchs, especially the German chancellor Konrad Adenauer used this car.
