1959 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series 220S

1959 Mercedes 220S Ambassador Package SedanNice classic Ambassador survivor. Four door limo type Mercedes with factory curtain rods on head liner, over stuffed plush deluxe leather seats, a real wood dash, and wood and leather door panels. Currently a driver condition car that you can tell had an older “frame on” restoration. This Benz is a real head turner wherever it goes. Mercedes straight 6 cylinder MB Type M 180 III engine. This 220S model has the High Output (for its day) 120 H.P., Two Solex compound down-draft carburetor 32 PAJTA. Three (3) on the tree manual transmission. Working 12 volt system with new battery. Engine runs smooth, car shifts, brakes and rides the way is should. Beautiful front grill and chrome bumpers. Chrome door handles, and trim needs replating. Paint is ok (appears car may have been originally dark navy blue), older body filler showing through in some areas like top of trunk, driver side tail light see pictures. Standard split bench seat in leather WITH seat belts. Under carriage looks unrestored and solid. Being a car from central California most of its life, rust is not a major issue. Some minor rust like passenger front floor pan (silver dollar size) and tail end of trunk pan. Windows are very good. Newer matching 205/60R14 Nankang tires with Mercedes hub caps set off this classic. Ride in class with this one! 2 stainless trim strips are off car, 1 of those strips is in the trunk. Carbs needs work due to gas leaking. I am a agent listing this 220S for the owners. Mercedes has been parked for over 5 years and owners are selling because it’s not being enjoyed the way it should be. This has been a local Central Valley California Mercedes for decades. California registration has been kept up all these years. Have clean current California title in hand.
