The vision of Mercedes-Benz
What do you think of when you consider a Mercedes-Benz from 1960? We have a clear vision about this: a Mercedes like this 220S offers a delightful combination of quality, a certain degree of complexity, luxury, and an incredible level of precision in building robust engineering. At that time, Mercedes was, of course, the symbol of luxury. The late 1950s marked a period of growing optimism and increasing prosperity, and Mercedes-Benz experienced a time of ‘Wirtschaftswunder’ or enormous economic prosperity. It was a period of hope and a positive outlook on the future, and cars like this Mercedes projects that spirit in every way.

This Mercedes boasts splendid accessories like the Elfenbein steering wheel, tasteful Rosenholz, and the Becker Europa radio.
