Vehicle Description
1953 Mercedes-Benz 220 SedanThis 1953 Mercedes-Benz 220 Sedan is an
extremely original example that has been patiently awaiting
complete restoration. Black with tan interior. A largely complete
car that's been sitting undisturbed for many years. Recently
unearthed and ready for its next caretaker to come along and give
it the proper restoration it deserves. Mercedes-Benz re-entered the
automobile market in 1949 with the W137-chassis 1.7-liter 170 sedan
built using tools and dies hidden away during the war. Its
X-configured oval-tube frame was stronger and more stable than the
ladder-frames of competitors. At the 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show, the
company introduced the W137 with a 2.2-liter engine, hence the 220
model name, distinguishable from its predecessor only by the
headlights faired into the front fenders. An exciting project and
the perfect car to complete any Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts
collection. Price: $9,950
