This Mercedes-Benz 200S Cabriolet was originally finished in a two-tone color scheme of yellow over Brazilian Brown with a brown leather interior. It was equipped with a fluid-coupling Hydrak automatic clutch, a four-speed manual gearbox, 4-wheel Servo-assisted drum brakes, and a 106 horsepower engine.
Retailed through the authorized American sales agent for Mercedes-Benz at the time, Studebaker-Packard Corporation of New York, it was delivered with US-specifications. By the mid-1970s, it had come into the care of Thomas Shields of Los Angeles, California. In 2004, Mr. Shields sold the 220 S to Arthur 'Sandy' Collins of Valencia, California. It was acquired by the current owner in February of 2007. The new owner treated the car to a sympathetic restoration that included overhauling the brakes, cleaning and adjusting the carburetors, refurbishing the instruments and undercoating the wheel wells and frame rails. It was given a new canvas top and stretch-wool headliner, as well as detailing of the engine compartment.
The car is currently finished in a coat of brown paint. It is one of 2,178 open top examples produced over the model's four-year production run.
In 2012, the car was offered for sale at the Amelia Island sale presented by Gooding & Company. It was estimated to sell for $90,000 - $120,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $77,000 inclusive of buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2012
