Two years after the introduction of the 8/38 model, the automaker decided to create a more luxurious version for it that was launched in 1928: the Stuttgart version.

After the merger between Daimler-Motoren-Gesselschaft (DMG) and Benz & Cie., a new brand was formed by the name of Mercedes-Benz, and the first production model was the 1926 8/38.
