1957 Mercedes-Benz 300d
Another interesting thing about Miami Vice was the fact that there were a lot of older cars featured on the series as well. One car in particular that was unique was the Mercedes-Benz 300D. The 300D was one of the first Mercedes-Benz models sold on the American market. The driving characteristics and luxury of the 300D were exceptional, and the car had a one-of-a-kind style (via Beverly Hills Car Club).
The Mercedes-Benz 300D didn’t have a major presence like some of the other cars on Miami Vice, but it was noticeable in seasons two and three. The unique styling and the luxurious attitude of the 300D were major factors for its popularity. Of course, a show like Miami Vice needed unique luxury cars, so the 300D was a great choice.
