Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet A dunkelblau

Daimler-Benz’s post war production started with the 170 V. Luckily, all the tools for its construction were still available. But it quickly became clear that soon larger and more representative models would follow. So at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in 1951 the brand new Mercedes 220 with 6-cylinder engine was introduced. It’s combination of high performance modern engines with a conservativ and high quality body was an instant hit with customers. The classic “Manager Car” was born! Custom models were finally available again, like the Cabriolet A. At a price of DM 18,860 the convertible two-seater was very expensive but that didn’t dampen the demand.

Our Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet A has a gigantic personality! Its color combination of black-green with leather in English red is extremely tasteful. This classic was completely restored a few years ago and has been driven very little by its current owner. So now it’s time to put this Oldtimer back on the road!!

Mercedes-Benz 300

At the International Motorshow in Frankfurt/Germany in April 1951, the sensational new “big Mercedes”, the model 300, was presented next to the 220, the new upper middle class model. Experts agreed that this was worldclass! Naturally, luxurious special body versions were available and the 4-door convertible D was a seamless extension of pre-war body design.

Our Mercedes-Benz 300 Cabriolet D was delivered to the US and it was first registered on July 1st, 1952. Since 1994 the luxury Mercedes has been back in Europe and was restored in Hamburg/Germany. Since 2006 the car has been one of the highlights of an exclusive collection. It’s top quality and complete history make this classic stand out!

exclusive “big Mercedes” in the best quality and with complete history

Daimler-Benz had always been known for luxury and sophisticated technology but the first post-war model, the 170 V only partly met those expectations. With the release of the Mercedes 220 in July 1951, the old virtues returned. Especially the new six-cylinder engine drew a lot of attention and praise, and rightfully so. Keeping with tradition, the model 220 was available as a 2- and 4-seater convertible A and B.

Our Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet A was built in 1952, the first full production year of this model. It was completely restored several years ago and is licensed in Germany. Since its overhaul, it has only been driven for 9,000 kilometers. Only 2,270 cars of the Cabriolet A and B were built so it was and is a very unusual and striking model!
