Description from the seller
Baron - Mercedes 504K Convertible V8 - Replica – 1936 Style – 302 CI V8 – 225 HP – Only 4 miles on the odometer
Sometimes a special automobile comes along that is not only meant to be driven, but above all to be admired. This Baron - Mercedes 504K Convertible V8 - Replica - is a splendid example of that. With its imposing dimensions, long hood, graceful fenders, generously present chrome details and classic two-tone bodywork, this special cabriolet immediately evokes the ambiance of exclusive European automobiles from the 1930s.
The design is inspired by the legendary Mercedes-Benz 540K from 1936, one of the most prestigious and valuable cars Mercedes-Benz has ever built. The original 540K was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1936 and was reserved for a very wealthy audience at the time. With its powerful eight-cylinder engine, impressive bodies, and exceptional finish, the model grew into one of the high points of pre-war automotive history.
Today, original Mercedes-Benz 540K models are among the most coveted classic cars in the world, with particularly rare examples fetching millions of euros at international auctions.
The Baron Mercedes-Benz 504K Convertible Replica offered here is a full-size tribute car inspired by this legendary pre-war Mercedes. The car combines the extravagant appearance of an exclusive 1930s cabriolet with a modern interpretation of classical technology, including a powerful American Ford V8 engine and an automatic transmission.
The vehicle is registered with the year of manufacture 1963 and was built in its current form as a classic tribute car. The construction and design are inspired by the Mercedes-Benz 540K.
What makes this example particularly attractive is the very well-presented condition, the attractive crème and deep dark brown color combination, the striking chrome details and the luxurious, light-colored interior.
The car is equipped with a Ford 302 CI V8 engine of 5.0 liters, with an indicated output of 225 hp, paired with an automatic transmission. This makes the cabriolet combine its classic look with the practicality of American V8 engineering.
Since completion, the car has hardly been driven. The odometer shows only 000004 miles.
This special 'Baron' is thus a striking sight for enthusiasts of classic automobiles, collectors, and anyone who wants to experience the grandeur of pre-war Mercedes-Benz models.
EXTERIOR
The exterior of this Baron - Mercedes-Benz 504K Convertible is finished in a particularly elegant and timeless two-tone combination of crème/beige and deep dark brown.
The long hood, imposing grille, freestanding headlights and gracefully curved fenders together form a bodywork clearly inspired by the exclusive Mercedes-Benz models from the 1930s.
The body presents itself in the photos in very well-kept condition. The crème paint shows a beautiful gloss and provides a nice contrast with the dark brown fenders and the matching dark brown convertible top. The various body parts visually fit neatly together and the car makes a well-groomed impression.
The front end is dominated by the imposing vertically mounted chromed radiator grille, with above it the classic Mercedes-inspired ornament. On both sides are the large freestanding headlights with chromed housings, which, together with the additional front lighting, give an authentic pre-war appearance.
Also the chromed front bumper, the elegant horns, the extensive moldings and the chromed details on the hood emphasize the classic character of this special cabriolet.
A striking detail are the intricately crafted flexible metal decorative tubes mounted on both sides of the hood. These are inspired by the characteristic external exhaust pipes used on the exclusive Mercedes-Benz Kompressor models of the 1930s.
The large, separately formed fenders sweep in elegant lines over the wheels and connect to the long running boards along the bodywork. These running boards are equipped with decorative chromed strips.
The car features attractive chromed spoke wheels with wide white-wall tires, which suit the classic look particularly well. On the side there is also a large spare wheel with a matching body-colored cover.
The chrome wheel finish and the white sidewall tires appear in the photos in a well-kept state and are a key part of the car's appearance.
The windshield is fitted with a classic, almost upright frame, with chromed details and two wipers. The separate small side windows also contribute to the authentic look.
At the rear, the combination of wide fenders, chromed bumper, classic rear lights and the body-colored trunk lid stands out.
The car has a fold-down dark brown convertible top with a matching cover. The top is equipped with a transparent rear window and forms a handsome whole with the body in the closed state.
TECHNICAL
Under the long hood sits a powerful American Ford 302 cubic inch V8 gasoline engine, with a displacement of 4,948 cc and an indicated output of 225 hp.
The Ford 302 V8 is one of the best-known American eight-cylinder engines and was used for many years in a variety of Ford models. The engine is known for its characteristic V8 sound, relatively simple construction and good availability of technical components.
For this 'Baron', the V8 engine offers an attractive combination with the classic body. The power of 225 hp provides significantly more performance than one would expect from the pre-war design.
The engine is paired with an automatic transmission, allowing for comfortable and relaxed driving.
On top of the engine sits a round Edelbrock air filter housing, combined with a carburetor. The engine bay features a modern cooling system with radiator and cooling fan. The car is equipped with a battery and an electrical system that has been adapted to the applied American V8 technology.
According to the available information, during the build various engine components, the carburetor, the battery and parts of the electrical installation were renewed.
In addition, the car has power steering and power brakes, which greatly increase ease of use compared to an original pre-war automobile.
After completion, the car has hardly been used on public roads and thus retains the character of an almost unused, newly built classic tribute car.
INTERIOR
The interior of this Baron - Mercedes-Benz 504K Convertible Replica is finished in a particularly beautiful combination of light crème/white upholstery, dark brown carpeting, a classic wooden dashboard and various chromed accents.
The colors match the two-tone bodywork very well and give the interior a luxurious look that fully fits the car's classic character.
The front seats are finished in light-colored, leather-like upholstery with a beautiful horizontal stitched pattern. The seats have comfortable backrests and wide cushions.
The upholstery appears in the photos in very neat condition. The seats show only minimal signs of use and the stitching and upholstery panels look well maintained.
The rear seat is also finished in the same light-colored upholstery and offers space for additional passengers. The combination of light upholstery and dark brown side panels provides a particularly elegant look.
The door panels are also finished in the matching light color and feature classic handles and chromed controls.
One of the finest details of the interior is the wooden dashboard with its classic instruments.
The dashboard features individual round gauges with gold-colored rims and light-colored dials. The instruments are executed in a style reminiscent of the luxury cars from the first half of the twentieth century.
The instrumentation includes a speedometer in miles per hour, tachometer, fuel gauge, water temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, voltmeter, gear indicator, and an analog clock.
The speedometer shows a reading of only 000004 miles.
For the driver there is a handsome wooden steering wheel with polished metal spokes. The combination of dark wood, the classic instruments and the light dashboard finish creates a particularly atmospheric whole.
The automatic transmission is operated via a centrally mounted gear lever. The gear indicator can also be read on a separate instrument in the dashboard.
The car features roll-up side windows, a fold-down convertible top and accompanying cover. In addition, the side window curtains are included as part of the equipment.
All in all, it presents as a beautifully finished, classically inspired interior in which the comfort of a later construction is combined with the exclusive look of the 1930s.
