1958 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet
Chassis No. 180030Z8502467
Produced from 1954-1959 the 220S Mercedes-Benz model was available in Saloon, Coupe, or convertible configurations. The 220 was the first of the "Ponton" series which had design roots and styling cues beginning in 1953 with the Mercedes-Benz 180 sedan.
The 220S featured a unitized body and frame with a fully independent suspension setup. All models were given the 2.2-liter version of the straight six engine with aluminum heads, overhead camshaft, and Bosch mechanical fuel injection. The column mounted four-speed manual gearbox was available with an automatic clutch.
This Car: Finished in Cream with gray hides, paired with a black convertible top, this wonderful Cabriolet makes an excellent candidate as a weekend driver. Largely original, with an lacquer re-finish and solid pans throughout, the 220 has survived quite nicely over the years.
Great care has been taken to preserve the originality of the upholstery and woodwork adorning the cockpit. The Cabriolet’s original interior is very complete and intact. As expected from any older surviving upholstery, the leather seats have faded in areas, but remain uncut. Lambskin seat covers accompany the car.
The engine bay and boot resembles the rest of the car, very original and solid! The liner still lies within the trunk, along with spare, jack, and tool roll. This example runs and drives very well, smooth shifting
* A well preserved survivor!
* Rare and Desirable Cabriolet!
* Wonderful driver-quality example!
