The 220SE Convertible is a fuel-injected version of the 220S, built at the end of the production run, 1958 through 1960. About 1,100 examples were made.
The cars were fast and luxurious for their time, with the improved overhead-cam six giving 134 hp in this new version. They were also expensive, costing almost double the price of a 220SE sedan. Built on a stationary assembly platform, the coupes and convertibles were possibly the last hand-assembled Mercedes production cars. The chrome trim, for example, was made of solid brass, hand-fitted to each car, then removed for plating. The wood trim presented the most lavish treatment in any Mercedes car, before or since. A properly-restored 220SE will cruise at highway speeds all day long., giving a level of quiet comfort and reliability expected in contemporary cars. These are the finest tour cars we know of.
