Classic Vintage Mercedes-benz

- "R" stands for "Rennen" (racing), used for racing cars (for example, the 300SLR).
- "S" means "Sport" for high-performance models or "Special" for flagship models.
- "T" stands for "Touring" and indicates an estate (or station wagon) body style.
Some models in the 1950s also had lower-case letters (b, c, and d) to indicate specific trim levels.
