In September 1955, at the third IAA (International Motor Show) at Frankfurt, another modified 300 model was on display. The new model, internally called 300 c, could be recognised by its enlarged rear window and broader tires. The profound changes, which had been undertaken were not visible on its exterior: Together with the 180 and 180 D models, the 300 c had received a single-joint cross shaft axle, guaranteeing better ride quality. Moreover, it was now available with automatic transmission as special equipment, which had not been developed by Daimler Benz, however, but was supplied by Borg-Warner. This so-called "Detroit-Gear" automatic transmission was executed as a hydraulic torque converter with two secondary planet gears and an integrated single-disk clutch for the direct gear.
