For years, the \u201cBlue Wonder\u201d was one of our best-selling models. That was no surprise if one considers its gorgeous contour and multiple functional parts. The adoption of premium materials, together with perfect craftsmanship and a deep blue high-gloss finish, made this replica a true collector\u2019s item that belonged in a special class.<\/p>\n
Years have elapsed since this model was sold out, and it is time to refill the void. But rather than offer a remake of the old M-036, we are introducing a new version that incorporates details and accessories newly discovered from the archives. Among them are the chromed wheel hubs, an embellished Mercedes star inlaid in the front, orange-colored auxiliary lights, and stone-chipping guards on the rear fenders, not to mention a rear plate-light assemble, an oval national symbol \u201cD\u201d in the rear end, and the loading ramps that are painted in matt black, instead.<\/p>\n
This new offer certainly comes belated to those who are eagerly looking to find a time-proper transporter for their W196 Monoposto and Streamliner, 300 SLR of various types and Uhlenhaut Coup\u00e9!<\/p>\n
The Blue Wonder<\/strong><\/p>\n In 1954, the Mercedes-Benz test department developed a hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind model —\u00a0the Mercedes-Benz racing car transporter. What with a deep blue finish, the soft curves of its body, and a top speed of 170 km\/hr, the \u201cBlue Wonder\u201d touched off as much sensation as the racing cars with which it was loaded.<\/p>\n After Daimler-Benz withdrew from racing in 1955, the \u201cBlue Wonder\u201d disappeared from the public view and was eventually scrapped in 1967. Only in the beginning of the 90\u2019s did Daimler-Benz recall the memories of this jewel and have a replica rebuilt under the supervision of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center to ensure that it was true to the original.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In 1954 a unique hand-crafted transporter was born out of the innovative efforts by the Daimler-Benz test department, and its curvaceous contour has remained unique ever since. Used by the MB racing division during the 1954\/1955 season, the vehicle did a sensational job in fast transporting the race cars W196 and 300SLR.<\/p>\n CMC offers an extraordinary collector\u2019s item of this car, which boasts an outstanding quality combining multiple functional parts with a true rendition of the car\u2019s original charms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10199,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[426,60],"product_tag":[94],"class_list":{"0":"post-2192","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-cmc-mercedes-benz-en","7":"product_cat-currently-not-available","8":"product_tag-award-winner","10":"first","11":"outofstock","12":"taxable","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
