Mercedes-Benz 220S (1959) for Sale in CA

This 1959 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet is a rare and elegant example of mid-century German automotive craftsmanship, with fewer than 2,200 units produced. Its striking blue exterior, complemented by a tan cloth convertible top, makes a sophisticated statement on the road. The gleaming chrome accents highlight its graceful lines, while the 15" wheels with BFGoodrich Silvertown 185/80R15 tires provide both vintage charm and modern road manners. Inside, the tan leather upholstery is a testament to the luxury of the era, with supportive bucket seats and a column-mounted shifter adding to the practicality of the cabin. The period-correct Euro-style Blaupunkt radio enhances the nostalgic atmosphere, while the wood grain accents throughout the interior showcase Mercedes' attention to detail. Under the hood, the 220S Cabriolet is powered by a 2.2-liter inline-six engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Two Weber carburetors, along with the original Solex units included, enhance performance. The car’s refined tone is produced by a single exhaust system with an aftermarket muffler, while four-wheel power drum brakes ensure confident stopping power. The suspension, featuring coil springs, shocks, and a front sway bar, provides a smooth and composed ride.
