Mercedes 300 Adenauer https://hymanltd.com/vehicles/5178-19...

At the first Frankfurt International Motor Show, which took place six years after the war in April 1951, many novelties were presented, including some cars of the top class. Apart from the 220 models, Daimler-Benz unveiled another new design, which was even more popular with the public: the 300 model, the biggest and fastest serial car of the German production of its time. This soon became the favorite car for representative purposes in politics and in industry. We can justifiably describe it as the true successor of the "Grand Mercedes" of the pre-war era, even though it was never officially given that name. Among the first important personages, who were chauffered in the 300 models were Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, President Theodor Heuss, Finance minister Ludwig Erhard and Social Democratic Party leader Kurt Schumacher, to name only a few.
