The first postwar Mercedes-Benz model, the W180 'Ponton,' was launched in 1953. This particular example is a well preserved and unrestored example from 1959, the last year of production for the 220 S Sedan. This Ponton was built for the U.S. market and equipped with sealed-beam headlights. It was ordered by the Mercedes-Benz distributor in South Bend, Indiana and finished in Black (DB 040) paint with red leather interior.
By 1966, the car had been relocated to San Mateo, California and in the care of a new owner. It remained with that individual for 19 years. n 1985, the Mercedes-Benz was acquired by an owner based in New Hampshire. The current owner, a Virginia resident, acquired the car in 2008 and commissioned an engine rebuild.
In September of 2011, this 220 S Sedan was named Best Original Car at the East Coast Ponton Congress in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It has won awards at other Mercedes-Benz events on the East Coast.
Currently, this Mercedes-Benz 220 S Sedan has less than 88,000 km on its odometer.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2017
