  Suspension with Coil SpringsDebuted in 1954, the new 220 series

  from Mercedes-Benz featured modern styling, unitized construction,

  and roomy accommodations, plus a new OHV 2.2-liter inline

  six-cylinder engine. The uprated 220 S arrived in August 1957 with

  dual Solex carburetors yielding 120 hp and 100 mph capability.

  While technically mass-produced, the 220-series two-door models

  were hand-finished by the renowned craftsmen at Mercedes-Benz's

  Sindelfingen works to impressive standards, justifying their

  substantial pricing. In all, just 3,429 examples of the 220 S Coupe

  and Cabriolet were built from 1957 to 1959.According to its

  accompanying Daimler-Benz production record, this 1957

  Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet is an original US-specification

  example finished with specially ordered Light Green Metallic paint

  and red leather upholstery. Retaining its original engine, it

  benefits handsomely from 20 years of prior ownership and care under

  an avid Mercedes-Benz enthusiast, including a meticulous

  restoration by noted Mercedes-Benz expert Bruce Adams. Among its

  many highlights, this 220 S Cabriolet features exceptional fit and

  finish, metallic paint custom pigmentmatched in Germany, bespoke

  fitted luggage handmade in France, and correct tags, markings,

  finishes, and equipment throughout. Confirming its excellence, the

  220 S was awarded the Corinthian Award at the 2022 Keels & Wheels

  Concours d'Elegance. Accompanied by a document folio containing

  original manuals, plus a tool kit, work light, jack, and spare

  tire, this rare and stylish 1957 Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet is

  ready for continued shows and classic tours.
