What did you think of this car? Pretty sweet piece of history right?!
Make sure to like & subscribe because we have some CRAZY stuff coming SOON!
Excellent washing and restoration job. It is a very comfortable and luxurious car like a Rolls Royce. My favorite is Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II and also the AMG 55 slk 2017
Excellent car! I'd have fun with this machine.
That’s a gangster-machanigun window lol
Why not to take wheels off and clear wheel arches?
Why not flat tires? 10 YEARS, 10 YEARS....
You reaaly need to update us on what happens with these cars. This girl is a classic.
Yes she is.🤗🤗
@@Repent-and-believe-in-Jesusit's a car video bro. No one is sinning here
You reaaly need to learn how to spell 😂😂😂
dont be a smart ass or that ass might get spanked but you'd probably enjoy it weirdo@@AyeJay20989
Probably gets left to rot again
In my book, this is the BEST car that you’ve ever shown
My dream car, for sure
Jimmy Savile, Adolf Hitler or Al Capone - would look great in this car.
For the Mercedes purist, you may want to change the title of the video to ...300d!. In the parlance of the M-B lineup at the time the upper case (D) indicated diesel power. While the lower case designated a model variant. Great job. Narragansett Bay
You dudes killed it on this one. I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year now. Always love the attention you give these weird forgotten gems. Much love from Detroit!
This is a diplomatic embassy car. This is a 60's era CEO's car. This is a high government officials car. This is absolutely pure class. This would have been parked in front of some very expensive hotels, or mansions in the day. Very beautiful. This is the embodiment of the old adage, "They don't make them like they used to". Thank you.
I think it was often called the Adenauer model since Konrad Adenauer served as the first chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1949 to 1963 so this is what he was often seen in.
@@emjayay Voll korrekt. Right on spot. you can see one at the Museum of german history in Bonn, equipped with a working space to do phonecalls, write or type...unbelievable for these days...
As a detail shop owner. I'm very jealous of the cars you get to work on brothers. But keep doing y'all's thing. Much love from Puerto Rico y'all! Viva la WD Detailing!
I have subscribed for a few years and really enjoy your new format. Brent was always more vocal but having RJ talk and joke around too adds a lot to the video. Keep it up. I look forward to Saturday morning.
You guy's really know how to bring a car back to life !
We need more men like you !
What an amazing job for an amazing car. Love how you understand how to preserve the paint and blended the newer and original paint. I’m very partial to the classic Mercedes cars with the beautiful lines and details. You guys always do an incredible job.
Gentleman, got to say i love these videos. Never thought watching a car (no matter how amazing) get washed would be so relaxing but this feels like therapy.
Great work, great videos. Thank you.
Can't wait for the next one.
I've been restoring cars since the 1960's. Great workmanship guys, you are carrying on a long tradition of doing this sort of thing for love, not money.
Great video guys well done. I loved how you explained the process and reasoning behind the polishing with thin paint. Well done.
Absolutely beautiful car boys. What a privilege to work on such a magnificent piece of history
The quality of craftsman assembling that Mercedes was unmatched.
I completely agree
Absolutely Outstanding, great job guys, very professional.
What a beautiful, elegant car. Great job as always. Keep 'em comin'!
Very nice! Was very cool to learn about the thickness of paint, and your handy tool for measuring the thickness! Fun project!! Thank you! 😊☮️
An absolutely stunning vehicle......thank you for sharing 😊
Miss Daisy. Y’all do a fantastic job and this one was so special to watch.
the attention to the smallest details is amazing, i love how this awesome classic popped up
Great job guys! The "AirRide system" are torsion bars with an electro engine. The automatic 3-speed gearbox is a Borg-Warner "Detroid-Gear".
That has to be my favorite car you guys have ever done. Such a cool example of Mercedes Benz engineering
Great job cleaning that old Mercedes !
It looks like new again and amazingly it started ! 👍
Incredible job you guys are doing!
I had a toy of this when I was a kid.....I love these cars......there was one that a person owned in my town in the early 70's.......it was always very cool to see it in motion.
That’s so cool!
R.J. and Mike are excellent automotive detailers. Thank you,
One of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen.
True, but in the US you had also verry beautiful cars in the 50's.
In Germany that Mercedes had been called "Adenauer" because the first Kanzler of the new demokratic Germany had one.
This Mercedes became famous because various German Statesman used them, there was one of them Mr. Konrad Adenauer who choose this particular model for many years and this car in the Mercedes Collectors World named it the Mercedes Adenauer. Congratulations, excellent discovery.
Fantastic work and a fantastic real Mercedes Adenauer. 👍🏻🏴
I worked for Mercedes-Benz Canada during the early 1970s. The side windows on your 300 were removable so that "royalty" or politicians in the rear seat could see and be seen by the masses on the sidewalk.
We sold and maintained a model 600, the "Grosser Mercedes", prized possession of the manufacturer of the Ski-Doo snowmobile. It was even longer and more imposing than your 300, with beautiful but understated interior trim. Its pneumatic suspension suffered in cold Canadian winters, and that fact led to this particular car spending its winters indoors.
Such a beautiful car. Great job, guys.
Great video. Thanks for all your efforts. I hope your business thrives.
Incredible! Well done, Boys!
The W186/W189 is absolute dream car of mine.
Absolutely beautiful car can't wait for next week ❤❤❤
That Benz is Gangster 🔥
Very nice work, possibly my favourite so far judging by the paint transition!
That is a very classy car. Thanks for sharing your videos. 👍
Wow what a beautiful automobile Love watching the care you took while detailing it👍❤️
Great car and great job bringing this legendary car back to life! I would definitely like to see you guys do the same thing with the other Mercedes that was in the garage as well!
Stunning Beautiful !!!!
Extreme Class.........
Beautiful example of Mercedes "Adenauer " (former German Prime minister using this cars as his Goverment vehicle).You made great job as usuall and I am glad to see it again!!
Very satisfying detail! What a motor!
Beautiful car ,Beautiful outcome! ❤
WOW! love it guys. What a classic. ☺️👍
What a beauty!! Thanks for sharing this content. None between the nowadays cars will hold up so great in 60 years time.
Terrific job fellas brought it back to life
Great job with this elegant beast of a Merc
What a beautiful car. Nice work guys.
Gorgeous car! You really did a great job on all the little details… I’m glad you didn’t find a body in the trunk because these big Mercedes had kind of a reputation for being the favorite ride of dictators as well as celebs. That coupe that was in the parts warehouse was really cool too, although it looked pretty rusty. I keep seeing that black Starion in the background, I’m excited to see what’s next!
Great video love the start at the end n learned alot abt painting cars
Awesome auto! Great work as always gents!
Y’all have some seriously cool connections to get to work on all of these old MB’s lately - what an awesome warehouse stash! Keep up the great work! They were always my dream car and I was able to get a GLC a couple years ago. I love to keep it clean but it needs some serious attention with recent winter weather driving 😂
Awesome car & well done cleaning job... Thank you❤ 🙏
Gorgeous automobile! Love this video!
In Germany this car is commonly referred to as the "Adenauer-Mercedes" as this was Konrad Adenauer's, our first Bundeskanzler, first state limousine. Adenauer asked Mecedes later for a car with an extended chassis and a sliding roof.
Awesome job guys❤❤❤
I really enjoyed watching this! Fantastic detail on a really cool car
Damn, that Mercedes looks gorgeous, so sleek and beautiful! And you guys did great job detailing it
Another awesome find by the barn find kings. Great video guys.
That was amazing!! I liked seeing the carpet snaps because they still do that. The push button start..Wow how advanced. Really awesome car. 🎉
For the diesel variant of the 300, there is a control knob on the dashboard which when pulled out controls a rod/cable/switch. The rod/cable connects to the fuel pump and valve, which allows the engine to start. The switch, at the first position, activates the glow plugs, if necessary. If it is warm enough to disallow the use of the glow plugs, you pull past the first stage to the second stage, which engages the starter. As a side note, on the opposite side of the dashboard [to the driver's left side of the steering column], there is a chrome shrouded opening about the size of a silver dollar, behind which is a coil that glows along with the engine glow plugs, so you can see when they are heated. There is also a manual fast idle which may be used for while the engine warms to operating temperature. The way to turn off the engine is to push the knob back in. This turns off the fuel supply. Yes, the engine will run without the key being turned on, or even in the ignition switch, once started. The ignition controls the electricity for the glow plugs, as well as the starter and other electricals in the car. The engine, being a diesel, will run without electricity, as it has a mechanical fuel pump and injectors.
Those early Mercedes-Benz they built in the early 60s are very beautiful cars this one managed to survive pretty good you guys do good work
I guess this one will turn more heads than the newest Ferrari....
It looks so good it's really cool you guys got to clean it up it's crazy it was just sitting like that tho but I always love the videos you guys upload and I feel like the queen would have been driven around in one of those cars
what a beautiful car!! 😍
Un gran video, para un gran coche y elegante, Mercedes, gran trabajo de limpieza y restauración, impresionante.👏👍💪🇪🇦
What a beauty !!!!
Yes! These were some of the last coach built Mercedes cars, incredible build quality.
Just ❤ these old classic ❤
Would love to see that fully restored
This car is beautiful. Great find guys.
This is a very rare Mercedes , and very expensive too . Good job.
What a beauty
Brilliant and respectful work. Please also do the more beautiful 220 coupe in cellar, its even more rare than the 300 !
Neat car! I know most of the cars you work on do not run, but it would be nice to see them in the sunlight after you are done. The overhead lights reflecting makes it hard to see the transformation. Great job as usual.
I personally thank you for saving these antiques, not ordinary cars, from neglect and abandonment .🙏🌹
I'm thinking a person of royalty. A monarch type for sure! Great job as always!
Standard West German govt official car. Called an Adenauer after Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany).The 300SL is based on this thing.
@@fotorabia Well, the *engine* (M189) is derived from that in the 300 SL (M186); no other great relationship in terms of chassis, body, suspension, or fittings.
Beautiful!
Best editing and filming on UA-cam. All Hail independent creators. UA-cam n creators changed the media landscape for good/greatness😊
Real nice ..good attention to detail
Love this video 🤩 y'all are stars 🤩 so cool
Don Micheal Corleone popped up almost instantly when I saw this car. Good stuff! Thanks for the videos and hardwork for our amusement.
No question in my mind: Konrad Adenauer and Ludwig Erhard would have been the rightful passengers in this automobile. 🤗🤗🦘🇦🇺
I doubt anyone here understands You
@@peers1111I do.
Adenauer was the first chancellor after the war.
So the first one to rule Germany after Hitler.
And I'm not german.
Two of the greatest men in the history of mankind, examples of dedication and defenders of the fundamentals freedoms of the individual.
Incredible just love this model
Man, what a gorgeous little car . 👍👍
Gorgeous car. Years ago my oldest brother had a Mercedes limousine class of roughly the year he was born (late 1970-ies). Everyone in my family are tall except my mom and we all comfortably could stretch our legs in that car.
So nice that the comments are below the video again ! Great job guys !
Great video Heather some good advice there thanks
💪💪strong
🇧🇷 Simplesmente Espetacular!!
Awesome detail! Very cool car
What a beautiful vehicle.

Mutch love from Germany guys🔥❤️
Mutch love from Germany
Hey guys, to clean wood, equal parts of linseed oil, turpentine and vinegar makes a nice cleaner. A light buff with the finest grade steel wool will shine it up.
Thanks for cleaning up such a nice car! Even started!😁 Any vid of driving it a little? CONGRATS!!!👍👍👍
You guys are so lucky ❤
This was such a cool car to work on.
Fantastic job gentlemen. It amazes me that such old tyres hold pressure so well. These must be pre tubeless era tyres.
