The first International Motor Show in Frankfurt, held in April 1951, presented numerous new releases six years after the end of the war, including some luxury-class models. In addition to the 220, Daimler-Benz showed another new design that attracted even greater public interest: the 300, the largest and fastest series-production car in Germany at the time, soon became the preferred representative vehicle in politics and business. Although never officially called that, it can be considered a worthy successor to the "great Mercedes " of the pre-war period. Konrad Adenauer, Theodor Heuss, Finance Minister Ludwig Erhard and Kurt Schumacher - to name just a few - were among the first prominent personalities to be chauffeured in the 300 series.

The fact that the Type 300 is primarily associated with the name of the first Federal Chancellor and is popularly referred to as the "Adenauer Mercedes" in the classic car scene is due to the fact that "the old man" placed particular emphasis on it, only chauffeured in the 300 and always wanted to have his company car with him when traveling abroad. During his tenure as Federal Chancellor, which lasted until 1963, and then until his death in 1967, Adenauer used a total of six different 300s. His first company car from 1951 can be admired today in the "House of History" in Bonn, while the car he used in retirement, a 300 d from 1959, became the property of Daimler-Benz in 1967 and has since been in the Mercedes-Benz Museum is on display.
