Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. First owned by John Jacob Astor IV. Whitewalls, jump seats, sliding divider, rollup rear compartment shades, hat net, dual sidemounts on right side, Westinghouse dampers, Solar headlights. Body embellished with canework panel. A tired old restoration but sound and usable as is.

Market commentary

A classic Mercedes, in every sense, with some colorful history and elegant period coachwork. The high bid is an appropriate compromise among this Mercedess inherent quality, rarity and the aged condition of its restoration.
