Description

Chassis No. 180.010-8503462

This stellar example of Mercedes' 1950s up-market luxury sedan, the 220 S, provides an intriguing look into high-class German motoring in the late 1950s. Presented today in its correct shade of '40G' Black over a light gray MB-tex interior, this car was ordered with the rarely seen and highly desirable Webasto sunroof, which provides a cabriolet-like open-air experience due to its large size. With plenty of room for six, the 2.2-liter straight-six engine, when paired with a four-speed column shift manual, is more than sufficient to cruise at highway speeds, allowing you to take advantage of the large trunk for a weekend tour. Having been restored over 30 years ago, the car has developed a light but wonderful patina over the decades of care provided by its loving owners. With the ever-increasing amount of technology adding to the complexity of new cars, this car offers a wonderful reminder of the simpler beginnings of the S-Class and the path Mercedes took to get there.
