The early 1950s saw the arrival of Mercedes-Benz's "Pontoon" line, which would remain in the company's DNA for several more years.
some of the most important models in the company's history!
In 1954, Daimler-Benz bridged the gap between its 4-cylinder models and the 300 molosses with the introduction of the 220, a 6-cylinder sedan aimed at a middle-class clientele| it was an immediate success, as the quality of the car was so high compared with its competitors of the time.
Our example was originally new in the United States, which it left in the early 2000s, and is part of the second phase of the 220 "W180", christened 220 S, which benefited from an increase in engine power, now peaking at 100 hp. Today, this car presents itself to us with a sound body and nicely weathered upholstery| immobilized for several years, the mechanics will need to be overhauled before taking to the road again.
With such an attractive valuation, this very attractive starter car is the ideal entry ticket for a collector wishing to take his first steps into the world of Mercedes!

"An interesting Mercedes-Benz sedan at a very reasonable price".
