Gallery Junction is pleased to offer this 1965 Mercedes-Benz 220SE CabrioletThe “fintail” Mercedes Benz 220SE set a new standard for middle-class luxury when it was introduced in 1959, replacing the “ponton” car. The convertible version arrived next year and was a mainstay of the marque for almost 10 years. Both it and its coupe sibling were built without the rear fins of the early-1960s sedans, which were remodeled without fins in the mid-60s.Production of the pillarless coupe and convertible began in late-1960. The coupe made its debut in Stuttgart in February 1961, with the convertible following later at the Frankfurt show. The convertible was almost identical to the coupe, with the soft-top roof folding into a recess behind the rear seat and being covered by a tightly-fitting bag. Between 1960 and 1965, Mercedes built 16,902 220SE coupes and convertibles.This car is a final year 220SE. With Bosch mechanical fuel injection, disc brakes, power steering, and an automatic transmission, it was one of the most sophisticated family cars available in its day, and it is also reasonably economical at 21 mpg, with a top speed of 106 mph. This car is an excellent candidate for restoration or drive it as a driver and enjoy. It has a nice straight body with good panel fitment and is finished in Cream over Tan.
