Mercedes-Benz Emblem?

Does any MB have the words "Mercedes-Benz" on the body? Or do they just the 3 pointed star emblem?

Under the hood on a bunch of decals, and stamped next to the part number on most parts.

On your 300D it should say Mercedes-Benz on the crest at the top center of the grille. In the 90s the crest moved to the base of the hood star. Not sure if there's a crest in current MBs.

no i dont mean under the hood or on any id tags, and i mean bigger than just on the hood/grill crest. i mean like a chrome bolted/clipped on logo name. im having this discussion with a guy who swears there is, but can offer no examples. so i was just wondering.

No because it would be lame. The star is in more keeping with Mercedes style.

On my moms G500, it says Mercedes Benz across the center wheel over on the back. Not real big, but just big enough to let people know what your driving.

It also says it on the door sills.

I have seen a "Powered by Mercedes Benz" badge on some big trucks.

It's a sign of pedigree, and brand awareness. The whole world knows what the three-pointed star represents.

BMW, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley are the only other cars that I can think of that also are "nameless." Even Ferrari has its name stamped on the rear -- but I think more for the "in your face" effect.
