Mercedes-Benz

The history of Mercedes-Benz starts at the turn of the 20th century. The company&#39;s lineage begins with <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/benz-cie/">Benz &amp; Cie</a> and the Daimler Motor Corporation (DMG). Daimler introduced the Mercedes 35hp, an automobile named after the daughter of DMG dealer and associate Emil Jellinek, setting the precedent for the use of the name. In 1926, DMG and Benz merged to create Mercedes-Benz, with their first car released in the same year. In the years since its creation, Mercedes-Benz has become one of the world&#39;s premier automotive manufacturers, known for their high level of engineering as well as their luxury. The company also has a prestigious racing history, have participated in all sorts of motorsport competitions, and achieved notable victories in Formula 1 and Le Mans.

Over the course of production, three variants were offered: the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mercedes-benz/300/w186/300a/">300 (300a)</a>, the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mercedes-benz/300/w186/300b/">300b</a>, and the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mercedes-benz/300/w186/300c/">300c</a>.
