Comfortable and surprisingly sporty - Mercedes-Benz 220 S (historical test)

July 16, 2017 — Paul Schweder 19

This article reproduces the original wording of the krafthand road test from 1956 and shows the car in many historical pictures.

On the road in the Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet - injection luxury and a feel-good atmosphere

June 12, 2015 — Bruno von Rotz 71

From 1956 to 1960, Mercedes-Benz also built the 220 S and, from 1958, the 220 SE as a convertible and coupé. The two-door variants remained rare, as they were priced at the same level as a detached house, which was not conducive to their popularity. However, their exceptional status ensured a good survival rate. This driving report describes the history of the convertible and provides driving impressions, supplemented by many current and historical photographs.
