This White over Medium Red 1958 Mercedes-Benz 180a Sedan is said to

　　be an example of the first sophisticated unit body design from

　　Daimler-Benz. Referred to within Mercedes as the W120, or "Ponton,"

　　for its pontoon fenders, this 180a is defined by the seller as, "a

　　stunning, completely restored California car." Having grown up with

　　one just like it in his family as a child, he cites an 11-year

　　search for this W120 Mercedes. Ironically, he says he scoured

　　showrooms and museums all over the country, only to find it in

　　Southern California, near his home. Mercedes introduced the W120 in

　　1953 with the 180 model designation. The 180a was subsequently

　　launched in 1957, which makes the car offered here an example of

　　the second year of production for the Mercedes 180a. This 1958 W120

　　Benz is located in Sylmar, California.
