When Mercedes-Benz modernised its limousine program in 1959 with the W 111 series, it make the coupés and convertibles of its predecessor, the W 128 (“Pontoon”) look antiquated. But the new coupés weren’t introduced until February 1961 and lovers of the elegant convertibles had to wait until September 1961. The waiting gave the new luxury cars an even more enthusiastic welcome confirming that the designer, Paul Bracq had nailed the new body design! These classics remain very attractive today.Our Mercedes-Benz 220 SE b Cabriolet, delivered to the US in 1963, has been registered in Germany since 2007 and has been with its current owner since 2012. Since then this gorgeous convertible has been extensively restored (including an engine overhaul), with the goal of preserving as much authenticity as possible, e.g. its leather interior. This classic shines and guarantees a fantastic driving experience!
