Mercedes Limo 300d 1958???

I have in inherited a (what I have been told is a) Mercedes Limo 300d 1958. It is in the middle of being restored and all of the original parts are there.

However, I cannot find any information on it. If anyone has any information or might have a suggestion on where I can find any information, please e-mail me.

Thank you in advance!!

Congratulations. Folks here bicker about whether or not the quality of MBs declined from the 80s S-class to the 90s S-class and from the 90s S-class to the 2000s S-class. Anyone who knows the W189 knows it's never been the same

Contact Jim Axman for more info on these cars.

I'd buy a copy of Frank Barrett's "Mercedes-Benz

Buyer's Guide," which has a good bit in it regarding these "Adenauers." Always thought they were all gas, tho.

The MBCA club magazine "The Star" did a big photo feature on these cars not too long ago.

Always liked the one in the Billy Wilder movie "One, Two, Three" set in cold war Berlin circa 1960.

'd' is a rev letter to distiguish it from the 300, 300b and 300c stages of evolution. The early cars are W186s, only the 300d is a W189. The emblems on the car just say Mercedes 300.

The practice died in the early 60s.
