1954 300SL Prototype By Scott Grundfor

June 23, 2013 by Scott Grundfor

The 1954 300SL Prototype is an icon, and the year 1955 was magical for Daimler-Benz, never to be equaled by any other marque. Their teams won four championships: the Formula One championship with Fangio driving, the World Sports Car Championship with Moss, Fangio, and Kling; an

The Italian Mercedes-Benz, Part 2 By Dennis Adler

June 22, 2013 by Scott Grundfor

The first of two Pinin Farina concept cars, known affectionately as the Italian Mercedes-Benz, built in 1955 and 1956 on the 300-series chassis was featured in our January/February issue. The body design of that 300b-based 1955 Coupe was far more complicated than this second version,

The Italian Mercedes-Benz, Part 1 By Dennis Adler

June 21, 2013 by Scott Grundfor

As the saying goes, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” This Italian Mercedes-Benz- bodied 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300b Coupe has always been the object of mixed opinions, it’s styling far more contemporary than any other luxury car that Mercedes-Benz offered in 1955. The 300s

Reimschuessel’s Treasury of Tools By Scott Grundfor

April 24, 2013 by Scott Grundfor

Today, starting a new Mercedes-Benz dealership requires a multimillion dollar investment, but this wasn’t always the case. In the 1960s a technically qualified individual could become a dealer on a shoestring. Among those who did so was Bert Reimschuessel. In 1965, when Daimler-Benz reacquired the

Likely the lowest-mileage Mercedes-Benz W123 wagon in existence showing just 6,088 kilometers (3,783 miles) from new.

Entombed in an Avellino, Italy garage following the 1980 Irpinia earthquake and STILL a Mercedes that has never been registered, the car remained hidden for nearly four decades, retaining its original temporary plates and documents and emerging as a true automotive time capsule with 100% documented originality.

1979 280TE presents in extraordinarily rare Nickel Green (code 870) over a beautifully preserved avocado green cloth interior. Delivered new via the Sindelfingen factory and specified with the flagship 2.8-liter M110 inline-six with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, automatic transmission, air conditioning, central locking, Becker Mexico cassette radio, automatic antenna, and the coveted rear-facing third-row seat, this S123 combines period-correct luxury with genuine long-haul capability.

Retaining original paintwork that has only required careful polishing to present at a concours level, and a pristine original interior. For the collector seeking a centerpiece-level W123—where rarity, provenance, and condition converge—this 280TE offers a unique opportunity to own what may be the ultimate expression of Mercedes-Benz’s iconic estate: engineered for a lifetime of use, yet barely touched by time.
