About this car
1955 300SL at Daniel Schmitt & Co. in St. Louis, MO. 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL in Saint Louis, MO | Daniel Schmitt & Co. The dealer's own page marks this car sold — it stays listed under the SOLD banner for reference and is left out of the price averages. Harvested from the dealer's own website on Nov 2, 2026 — confirm availability at the source before travelling.
What the photos show
- red paint looks glossy, deep and even all round with tight gullwing door gaps, so no repaint or panel work is visible
- chrome bumpers, grille and headlight rims look bright and straight, so no chrome bill is showing
- tan leather seats, sills and door panels look new and unmarked with clean quilted trim, so no retrim spend is visible
- dash, gauges and wood-rim wheel look clean and complete, so no dash restoration is suggested
- engine bay does not show a 1955 300SL engine at all - it shows a modern fuel-injected engine with a plastic intake, cone air filter, modern alternator, brake booster and alloy radiator, so this is not original mechanicals and originality money is not there
- underside on the lift shows a modern black box frame, coil-over suspension, catalytic converters and an automatic gearbox pan, all clean and rust-free, so it reads as a modern recreation underneath rather than a 1955 chassis
- wheels and tyres in the exterior shots look clean with body-colour hubcaps, so no wheel spend is visible there
Money: no sold price is listed, and the photos show a very tidy modern-built replica/recreation in genuine 300SL clothing - that supports replica money, not genuine 1955 300SL money, however good it looks.

Condition: 1952 Mercedes Benz 300 Adenauer This 300 has been in storage since the 1970s, it's remarkably solid and we preserved for its vintage. These are neat cars with an in person presence that the photos don't translate well. The 300 share many parts with the 300SL and were actually more expensive when both were new. This car is obviously a restoration candidate but will be stunning when finished. We are happy to help buyers worldwide with shipping a freight logistics. A local viewing is welcome and encouraged with appointment.
