Leave it alone: ’55 Mercedes-Benz 220 A
Typically when we see a Fintail or Ponton early Mercedes-Benz sedan our reaction is to make it invincible and take it on a rally or long distance tour. This one is just too nice for that although we wouldn’t object strenuously if the new owner prepared it for the Peking to Paris. It is a documented 3-owner car originally from Switzerland. It is very sophisticated looking in black with red leather interior. The interior looks great with a few split seams here and there. We are confident with treatment and a skilled upholstery person, that all can be made right. How neat would that be. The listing does not reveal the condition of the driveline or any details on the body and paint. A phone call is in order. The asking price at $15,000 certainly is a handsome sum for a Ponton so the seller must think it exceptional. Find out by calling. Click here for the listing.
