Selling a 1959 Mercedes Benz 220SE Coupe

 

The Mercedes 220SE Coupe, often known as the Ponton due to its shape resembling a pontoon, would be the first new release from the German manufacturer after World War II. Propelled onto the scene with great anticipation in 1958, the 1959 Mercedes Benz 220SE Coupe and Cabriolet models featured a 2.2L straight-six overhead camshaft engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection. It also featured a unitized body/frame construction and fully independent suspension, making it quite the beast. Running until November 1960 when it would officially be replaced by the 220SEb, only 830 models of the 220SE Coupe would be manufactured. If you’re thinking about selling a 1959 Mercedes Benz 220SE Coupe, you can rest assured knowing that there are buyers waiting for a car like yours to be offered on the market – no matter what its condition.
