The Mercedes-Benz 200 Series is commonly known as the 'Ponton' model for the shape of its front suspension subframe. Production of the 220 S Sedan began in March of 1956, which was followed by a limited number of coupe and cabriolet derivatives. Resting on a 106.3-inch wheelbase, the cabriolet had a heavily reinforced floor pan to compensate for the loss of the fixed steel roof of the sedan and coupe. The unitized body was constructed from steel, with certain parts made from aluminum to help reduce overall weight.
Inside, the cars were finished to the same high standard as the top-of-the-line 300 Series, with leather, premium, carpeting, polished burl wood trim, and chrome fixtures.
A Bosch mechanical fuel injection system replaced the twin carburetors in 1959, creating the SE.
This Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet is one of only 1,112 constructed between July 1958 and November of 1960. In 2007, a previous owner had it refinished in a shade of cream along with a fresh red leather interior and a matching leather boot for its canvas folding top.
This Mercedes-Benz 220 SE features a Becker Mexico radio, a clock, a full set of color-coded wheel covers, fog lights, and new bias-ply whitewall tires. It has a four-speed manual transmission with column shift, and a 2.2-liter six-cylinder engine. The odometer currently shows just over 50,000 miles.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2014
