Mercedes-Benz 220 S Ponton Cabriolet First registration 01.07.1956 (MY 1957) 2.2L In-Line 6 / 100 Hp / 74 Kw / RWD Vin 1800306512499 5-speed manual transmission Dark Blue with red leather interior Currently in Belgian registration since 2010 Fully restored 1 of 3.290 produced between 1956 and 1960 1 of 297 produced for the year 1956 Story With this extra weight, the car's performance would have been mediocre with the 85hp 6-cylinder engine fitted at the time of its presentation. Despite strong demand, Mercedes-Benz decided to delay marketing the 220 cabriolet to allow it to have a more powerful engine. The 220S cabriolet with 100 bhp was launched in the summer of 1956. This new top-of-the-range model was hand-assembled by workers at the Sindelfingen plant. This explains why it cost 75% more than a 220S saloon and twice as much as a 219 saloon. It has a very high standard of finish, bordering on the luxury car segment. The Mercedes-Benz Ponton cabriolet is based on the platform and front end of the 220 saloon. It differs from it by having a windscreen that is more curved at the edges, front wings with no body creases, thick chrome trim strips running along the sides of the car and serving as a limit to the two-tone bodywork and finally long rear wings with integrated lights at the end, similar to those on the Mercedes-Benz 300d limousine. Finally, the Ponton cabriolet has a heavy soft top that is easy to manoeuvre and fully retractable. This allows the car to present a very fluid line when uncovered. Despite its undeniable qualities, only 3,290 examples of this model were produced during its five-year career. The car's price was a limiting factor in its popularity.
