In April 1951, six years after the end of the War, numerous new models, including some luxury variants, were presented at the first International Motor Show in Frankfurt. Alongside the 220, Daimler-Benz exhibited another new design which drew even more public interest: the 300, in its day the largest and fastest series-produced German car, soon became the car of choice among politicians and the business elite.
Model series: 300 W 186 "Konrad Adenauer" (1951–1954)
