220S Coupé ponton 1957 for sale

Mercedes 220S coupé ponton Classic Car Design offers you this rare Mercedes 220S Ponton W180 coupe from 1957. At the time, it was hand-assembled based on the cabriolets, with Mercedes producing only about 1250 (about 830 more in injection). The sedan was launched in 1953 and the coupe in 1956. The W180 Generation represents a truly new generation for Mercedes, breaking away from pre-war models, particularly adopting the body with integrated fenders. This specimen appears to be of French origin, however, the antepenultimate owner kept it for over 25 years. Outside, this specimen is in overall satisfactory condition although it shows some signs of use and a medium-quality paint. The numerous hubcaps and chrome strips are present, mostly in good condition, although some will need to be restored. The body and undercarriage show no perforating corrosion. Inside, this Mercedes 220S offers the particular atmosphere of Mercedes from the '50s/'60s that combines leather, wood, and chrome. Everything is in good condition, the leather upholstery and carpets have benefited from a restoration a few years ago. The headliner seems older but is also in excellent condition. The repainted woodwork is correct and all the instrumentation works. From a mechanical point of view, under the large hood, we find the 6-cylinder 2.2L engine fed by carburetors, ensuring sufficient performance and above all offering a sound in relation to the status of the car. The mechanics have benefited from a recent overhaul, particularly in terms of carburation, ignition, some silent blocks, and joints... In conclusion, these models are rare on the market and even more so on the French market, they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. This specimen, although it requires some aesthetic work, is one of the least expensive on the market and is priced at its appraisal value dating back over 4 years ago. With this coupe, you are sure to drive a model that stands out from the ordinary.
