1957 | Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc Coupé

Registration number: PM-92-18

The 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc Coupé is truly among the finest classics in the automotive world. Its status is not only due to its rarity—just 98 examples were built—but also thanks to its sophisticated engineering, exceptional craftsmanship, and its historical importance within the Mercedes-Benz legacy.

The 300 Sc was Mercedes-Benz’s flagship in the 1950s, symbolizing the brand’s renaissance after World War II. While the immediate post-war years were focused on practical models for reconstruction, the 300 series marked a return to Mercedes’ roots: building luxurious, technically advanced automobiles at the highest level. Introduced in 1955 as the successor to the 300 S, the 300 Sc represented the pinnacle of this philosophy.

What set the 300 Sc apart was its use of mechanical fuel injection—an innovation at the time. This system refined the performance of the 3.0-liter inline-six engine, delivering more power and smoother operation. The 300 Sc was not only the fastest of the 300 series but also the most exclusive, with only 200 units produced across three body styles. The coupé, with just 98 examples, is the rarest of them all.

The car offered here has been meticulously restored and overhauled to a standard that is seldom seen. The deep, mirror-like paintwork, immaculate chrome trim, and stunning interior reflect a restoration of exceptional quality. The cabin is upholstered in the finest leather, the carpeting is thick and luxurious, and even the original two-piece luggage set is still present—a detail that speaks to the elegance and prestige of this automobile.

This 300 Sc Coupé is matching numbers, meaning the engine and chassis are the original factory pair. A copy of the original "Lieferschein" (delivery certificate) is included, adding further confirmation of the car’s authenticity.

Built exclusively to order in very limited numbers, the 300 Sc was intended for a select clientele. Among its early owners was none other than Hollywood legend Clark Gable. Today, this Mercedes-Benz is a rare and highly sought-after collector’s item—a unique opportunity to own a world-class example of automotive history: elegant, exclusive, and timeless.
