Do not miss this opportunity and become the new owner of this very unique Mercedes Convertible! This is a NO RESERVE PRICE AUCTION.

The Ponton was Daimler-Benz's first all new Mercedes-Benz series of passenger cars after the Second World War. In July 1953, these cars replaced the pre-war designed Type 170 series.

The nickname comes from the German word for "ponton" and refers to a definition of pontoon fenders - and a post-war styling trend which later took the name pontoon styling.

The 220S made its debut in Frankfurt in 1956 as the pinnacle of a new range of cars. The 220S shared a strong family resemblance to the sporty 190SL and the mighty 300SL. However, unlike those special two-seaters, the 220S was hand-built to carry passengers in luxury on a daily basis. Mercedes built only 1,066 convertibles in 1957. As attractive as this Mercedes-Benz was (and is) mechanically, it is the complete styling package, the drive train and the interior features that make the 220S the standard with which all other European six-cylinder cars from the 1950s are compared and judged.

Of the 220S convertibles, only a small number remains today. This makes the Mercedes Ponton 220S convertible a very unique collector's item. 

This car is in excellent condition since the recently completed restoration. Restored to a very high standard in America (for over $36,000 between 2018 and the present, of which all invoices are present). Completely checked, bumper to bumper, and perfected. In addition, the Ponton was given a new coat of paint in the Netherlands last month.

Besides the fact that the exterior has been addressed completely, the engine, gearbox, brakes, dual Solex carburettors, fuel lines / tank, radiator, electrical system have been fully checked / restored. The car has only driven 125 miles after the restoration. Extensive documentation of the restoration is available.

Perfect for a collection because of its good condition, but also to enjoy driving. Guaranteed value stability with the potential for appreciation, especially for a car in this condition with such low production numbers.

So don't wait too long and seize this opportunity to become the owner of this beautiful classic, a dream come true for the Mercedes enthusiast.

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?

Bids exclude the auction fee and shipping costs, which will be added during final payment.
