*The vision of Mercedes-Benz
*
What do you think of when you consider a Mercedes-Benz from 1960? We have a clear vision about this: a Mercedes like this 220S offers a delightful combination of quality, a certain degree of complexity, luxury, and an incredible level of precision in building robust engineering. At that time, Mercedes was, of course, the symbol of luxury. The late 1950s marked a period of growing optimism and increasing prosperity, and Mercedes-Benz experienced a time of ‘Wirtschaftswunder’ or enormous economic prosperity. It was a period of hope and a positive outlook on the future, and cars like this Mercedes projects that spirit in every way.


*Timeless color scheme

This beautiful car comes from Germany, from an enthusiast with a wonderful collection. This Mercedes was newly delivered in New York, and its color combination exudes both ‘Zuverlässigkeit’ and style—in other words, a timeless color combination. Isn't this 220 stunning in dark gray with red leather and the beautiful wood in the interior? The stylish appearance doesn't stop with the color. This Mercedes boasts splendid accessories like the Elfenbein steering wheel, tasteful Rosenholz, and the Becker Europa radio.


*Restored and overhauled to perfection

Do you know what's special about this particular 220S? It has been restored and overhauled with the same vision that Mercedes had when originally building this car: an eye for detail and quality. The details of this 220S are fantastic. The dark gray paint is beautiful, and the bodywork is sleek, with chrome bumpers in fantastic condition.
The details are spot-on in this Mercedes, as we can clearly see in the interior. The beautiful, high-quality leather, the premium carpets that look stunning, and the Elfenbein steering wheel are just examples of the ‘Qualität’ of this beauty. Few cars have the same level of quality and luxury, and due to the restoration, this example is a showcase of how a Mercedes was delivered in 1960. Naturally, the mechanics of this car are entirely in order, and it drives with a sense of quality that was unparalleled at the time.
