*An interesting history*
Originally crafted in 1939, this Mercedes-Benz 320 Cabriolet B was brought to the Netherlands in 1992 after being hidden in Romania for over four decades. The car served as the personal vehicle for high-ranking state official and later president Nicolae Ceaușescu, who was chauffeured in it between 1949 and 1952. During a period of political turmoil, Ceaușescu's family concealed the car, and it resurfaced only when circumstances allowed. This unique piece of history comes with original ownership documents, including a 1981 certificate listing Ceaușescu's mother as the owner. These documents are included with the vehicle, underscoring the rich and intriguing history of this Mercedes-Benz.

*Meticulously restored and overhauled*
No detail was overlooked in restoring this Mercedes-Benz to its former glory. The extensive restoration and mechanical overhaul, spanning several years, included a complete renewal of the woodwork. The engine has been fully rebuilt, and the entire vehicle has been brought to fantastic condition. The restoration was executed by leading specialists, evident in the exceptional quality of workmanship. An extensive photo album documenting the restoration process is available, showcasing the meticulous care and attention lavished on this automobile. The car is now in absolute top condition and ready to dazzle at any concours event.

*Matching numbers and rare documentation*
This Mercedes-Benz 320 Cabriolet B boasts matching numbers, enhancing its authenticity and value. The extensive documentation, including rare ownership papers and restoration photos, provides comprehensive insight into the car's storied past. Available records indicate that the car probably has had only two owners since 1939, with the most recent owner cherishing it in the Netherlands for over 30 years.

*Historical significance and interesting front suspension*
In the late 1930s, the Mercedes-Benz 500 and 540K sports models were among the most coveted automobiles, combining luxurious, streamlined designs with supercharged engines to offer the ultimate in personal transportation. The Mercedes-Benz 320 provided a comfortable and spacious alternative for customers desiring the same prestige as the top models but at a more accessible price point. Its six-cylinder 3.2-liter engine delivered 78 horsepower, achieving a top speed of nearly 80 mph. The innovative chassis featured independent front suspension with double wishbones and coil springs, granting the car's exceptional handling characteristics. Additionally, the model was equipped with hydraulically operated drum brakes on all four wheels, ensuring reliable stopping power. While many 320s were produced as limousines or sedans, it was the cabriolet style that best captured the sporty spirit of the era.
