This is a +1954 300, I guess with a suffix b. You may find the bumper over riders and the front door quarterwindow. The first 300 (1951) had not both items. I will check the first year. -- Last edit: 2012-06-04 13:35:59 |

The type was w 186 III, as you can read below, from Link to "media.daimler.com" The fruits of these labours were presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1954 in the form of the Mercedes-Benz 300 b (W 186 III). The exterior identifying features of the Model 300 b were the bumper guards on the front and rear bumpers, which the previous Model 300 only had for its export version. The vent windows in the front doors symbolised major progress where ventilation was concerned. The chromed perforated wheel rims ensured better heat dissipation from the larger – now ribbed – brake drums, referred to back then as turbocooling. The driver was supported by a standard-specification vacuum brake aid – another new feature which had not been included in the previous Model 300. |

The wheelcovers suggest 1956+ 300 c even.  |

I guess 1956 it is more correct, because of larger rear window. Please read: The Mercedes-Benz 300 c (W 186 IV) For the International Motor Show in Frankfurt in September 1955, the Model 300 was again brought closer in line with the model range of the times in technical terms, and became the Model 300 c (W 186 IV). From the exterior it could only be distinguished from the 300 b predecessor model by the larger rear window and the larger tyre size, 7.60 x 15. Along with the wider tyres there was also a changeover to wider wheel rims with size 5.5 K x 15 B, which were later also used for the Models 300 d (W 189) and 300 SL Roadster (W 198 II), but were not recognisable at first glance. |

Let's compare rear windows: 300 b and 300 c. Second one is wider, indeed. -- Last edit: 2012-06-04 15:12:53 |

Very good pictures. No doubt this car is a 300c. |
