In short
A resin 1:43 scale model of the Mercedes-Benz 500K Cabriolet C (W29), finished in documented period Light Grey.
The Mercedes-Benz 500K (W29) entered the world at the 1934 Berlin Motor Show as the direct successor to the 380, immediately establishing itself as one of the defining luxury automobiles of the decade. Matrix Scale Models captures the open Cabriolet C body style — a four-seat configuration with a fold-down soft top — in the historically grounded Light Grey finish that distinguished many examples delivered to European clientele of the period.
Supercharged Straight-Eight: The W29 Platform
At the heart of the 500K sits a 4,982 cc inline-eight (M24) engine fitted with a Roots-type supercharger — the mechanical detail that earns the "K" (Kompressor) designation. The W29 underpins all coachwork variants, from closed saloons to the open Cabriolet C reproduced here.
Royalty and Heads of State
Production of the 500K ran from 1934 to 1936, before the 540K succeeded it. The car was purchased by royalty, heads of state and industrialists, cementing its reputation as a flagship of pre-war European luxury. The Cabriolet C four-seat open variant is among the most desirable surviving coachwork configurations today, with surviving examples regularly exceeding $1 million USD at auction. Light Grey, the colour represented here, aligns with the silver and grey tones historically favoured by Mercedes-Benz for grand touring deliveries to wealthy clients.
Resin Precision at 1:43
The resin medium enables faithful reproduction of the 500K's period coachbuilding details — running boards, external exhaust pipes and sweeping front fenders — at a fidelity that the 1:43 scale demands. This release depicts the open W29 Cabriolet C as delivered in 1934, in Light Grey.
