• Garrison shipped this vehicle to the United Stated in the 1950s and titled in North Carolina in 1955 where it has spent the past nearly 70 years.
• The car went through an 8 year meticulous restoration from the late 1980s to early 1990s.
• One family owned for over 70 years.
• Always stored in a climate controlled environment.
• 6L 6-cylinder engine.
• 3-speed manual transmission.

When Daimler and Benz entered into a community of interest in 1924, heated debates between the two companies were almost instantaneous and continual. While a common goal existed between the two companies, a contentious past between them was certain to cause riffs—and it did. Both agreed the company needed to produce a midsized car to service the sizeable and potentially lucrative midsize market, along with commercial, military and government interests, but reaching that common goal wasn’t going to be simple.
