Production of the Mercedes-Benz 220 Series was done in limited numbers through October 1960. Just 1,942 examples of the Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Ponton-style coupes and cabriolets were built (1,112 were cabriolets). With a price tag of $8,091 - which was nearly double the cost of some 1960 Cadillacs - exclusivity was ensured.
This particular 1960 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet was acquired in 2011 by the current owner from Bruce Weber. It has been thoroughly restored in Europe to original Mercedes-Benz specifications. The work included a rebuild of the 134 horsepower, inline six-cylinder engine, and its Bosch fuel injection using Mercedes-Benz parts exclusivity. The car rides on new tires, with 480 km having been acquired on the odometer during the sorting process.
The car is in as-new condition. It is finished with Standox paint to give it a lustrous period-correct dark blue shade. There is a black convertible top, red leather upholstery, a period Becker radio, and Wilton wool carpeting.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2014
