The 220 S debuted at Frankfurt in 1956 as the top-level version of a new model line of vehicles slotted between the 190 sedans and the coach-built 300d. It used the company’s envelope-style “ponton” body and shared a family resemblance to the sporty 190 SL and mighty 300 SL. Unlike those specialty two-seaters, however, the 220 S was hand-finished to carry passengers in luxury on a daily basis. Mercedes built just 1, 066 Cabriolets in 1957, accounting for only 6. 5 percent of production. Cabriolets cost 75% more than a comparable 220 S Sedan, so befitting its station, it has trim and rear lamps that echo the 300 series, as well as unique sheet metal that looks fantastic with the fully collapsible roof either up or down.
The magnificent 1958 Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet featured here is finished in stunning two-tone Medium Blue Metallic and Light Blue Metallic over a gorgeous Dark Red leather interior with a fully-lined Dark Blue folding convertible top. This exquisite investment-grade Mercedes-Benz had been restored to to show-quality standards and is among one of the finest examples to come to market in years. We are proud to offer this incredible 220 S Cabriolet to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own one of the very best at an investment price!
