In 1955, the Mercedes-Benz racing car transporter emerged on the scene. It’s brilliant blue paintwork, soft streamlined curves, and top speed of 106 mph generated just as much fascination as the W 196 and 300SLR monopostos that rode piggyback on the loading bed.

The CMC Mercedes-Benz Racing Car Transporter, 1955/1955 is a unique specimen that celebrates the critical significance of this vehicle to the racing heritage of the brand.
