1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC Cabriolet



This 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC Cabriolet A is an exceptionally rare car as one of only 49 examples ever produced. A matching numbers example retaining its original engine. White with a blue leather interior, an extremely original car that requires sympathetic cosmetic restoration and front-end repair. The engine work has already been done, and the car is mechanically excellent, with a strong-running motor. The previous owner discovered and purchased the car approximately 15 years ago and completely went through it mechanically to prepare it for tours and events. The plan was to keep it as an original, well-preserved, driver-quality survivor. Now, heres your chance to own one of the lowest-production cars ever made by Mercedes-Benz. A unique and exciting opportunity for any collector or enthusiast.



In 1955, Mercedes-Benz elevated its classically styled and meticulously handcrafted 300S models with advanced technology derived from the legendary 300SL. Most significant was a 173-horsepower, 3.0-liter inline-six equipped with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, paired with a “low-pivot” swing-axle rear suspension. The resulting 300 Sc represented the ultimate evolution of the exclusive 300, seamlessly blending cutting-edge performance with exceptional luxury in the finest Mercedes-Benz tradition. Powerful, exceptionally rare, and constructed to exacting standards, the 300 Sc is a remarkable showcase of the marque’s engineering and craftsmanship. Few automobiles of its era could match its combination of quality, sophistication, and refinement. One of Mercedes-Benz’s most distinguished automobiles of the 1950s.
