A show stopping 1953 Mercedes-Benz 300b Convertible D was being auctioned by a business colleague of AMG Market. OK, it is not an AMG, but what a nice ride. AMG Market now provides a unique marketing process that serves sellers and buyers of fine Mercedes-Benz automobiles.

Here’s a caption from the sellers agent, “The remarkable 1953 300b four-door Convertible D is guaranteed to impress…not because it will win the next “Best of Show” award but because it is so evenly excellent, mechanically as well as cosmetically.”
Mid-December we shared a pic of another impressive Mercedes 300 we enjoyed viewing while in Vegas and subsequently in Phoenix (two back-to-back MBCA car club events). Dr. Phil Lufty won “Best of Show” for the concours with his Mercedes 300. It is a fine automobile.
