The Type 300 (W186, W188, and W189) was Mercedez-Benz's flagship line in the '50s. Analogous to today's S-Class, these cars were elegant, powerful, exclusive and expensive. The 3.0-L 6-cylinder Type 300 had a much cheaper 2.2-L 6-cylinder version, the W187.

The luxury 4-door W186, introduced in 1951, was released as both a saloon, the 300, and a cabriolet, the Cabriolet D. It also had a more luxurious 2-door version, the W188 (300 S). The W186 was first updated in 1954 (300b) and then in 1955 (300c). The cabriolet was discontinued in 1956 while the saloon lasted up to 1957. The 300c saloon was updated by giving it 4" more thus making it a true limousine. The new model became the 300d (W189).
