1935 Mercedes-Benz 500K Cabriolet A
- Sold for: $2.75 million
- Auction house: Gooding & Co.
In the 1930s, this was Mercedes' flagship road car, like what the S-class is today... and then some. According to Mercedes' own sales literature of the time "Nothing that might serve to increase the passenger's comfort has been neglected."
This particular car was built for Baron Silfverschiold of Gasevadholm, Sweden. It has a 160-horsepower 5.0-liter supercharged 8-cylinder engine. It's one of just 11 examples of this particular model still around.
