Mercedes-Benz W120
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Mercedes-Benz W120 and W121 "Ponton" cars were produced from 1953 through 1962. They were sold under the "'180" and "190" model names.
The four-cylinder 180 and 190 were the mainstay of Mercedes' lineup during this period. Together with the more luxurious and somewhat larger 220 they constituted 80% of Mercedes-Benz' production between 1953 and 1959. Until 1957, the 180 used the old M136 1.8 litre engine from the Mercedes-Benz 170 Sb with 52 PS (38 kW; 51 hp). Later 180s received a downtuned version of the larger M121 engine of the 190.
The six-cylinder Ponton models were the somewhat longer W128/W180 220s-220S-220SE. The 180-190 and 220-220S 'Ponton' models looked very similar in appearance from the windshield back. From behind, one could not easily differentiate even the top of the line 220SE (E for Einspritzung, or fuel injection) from a 180, but the longer hood (and wheelbase) and chrome touches identified it as an upscale, six-cylinder model."

"The 180-190 four-cylinders were widely used as German taxicabs." (...)
