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 W189 or 300d replaced the 300c (W186) in 1957 as Mercedes-Benz's top 4-door car. With the additional 4" and a hardtop configuration, the saloon was now a limousine and the cabriolet now a phaeton. It replaced the W188 as Mercedez-Benz's flagship car in 1958. Originally, the 300SE (W112) was supposed to replace the 300d as the company's top car. But that distinction was ultimately given to another limousine, the 600 "Grand Mercedes".
