"In the minds of many people the name of Mercedes-Benz conjures up visions of stupendously fast vehicles in the ultra-high price range. Yet the firm has always been famous for the construction of hard-wearing touring cars of medium size." Autosport - May 27, 1955

"In the family sedan field, the name Mercedes-Benz has become indelibly associated with top quality, long life and low depreciation." Road & Track - October, 1957

Mercedes-Benz display at the 1959 Chicago Auto Show.  Note the sign which reads, "Mercedes-Benz Sold and Serviced by Studebaker Dealers."  Ponton sedans are shown along with the Type 300SLR which was capable of 200 mph.  Also visible in the photo is a 300SL roadster, a Type 300 "Adenauer" sedan, and an 1893 Benz Velo.
