Leif in Calif Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Looks like a very nice example! (more pics in ad) Lots of information about the car's specifications, none at all about its condition! https://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/d/bellingham-1957-mercedes-benz-220s/7770447182.html This 1957 Mercedes-Benz 220S sedan is said to have been acquired in Germany and imported into the US by the first owner, and it was acquired by the seller in 1990. The car is finished in gray over red leather and is powered by a 2.2-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes dual Solex carburetors, 13″ steel wheels, yellow auxiliary lights, chrome bumpers, and a Blaupunkt push-button radio. This 220S is offered with service manuals and records. an uninstalled MPH-scale gauge cluster, wooden dashboard components, spare parts, and a clean Washington title. *Not interested in trades* email: 035c5c9ce0df3f4d8f72939a778432e8@sale.craigslist.org 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Now this is what one of these should look like. Not incorrect bordello-grade patterned velour upholstery. I'd have thought these would have larger than 13" wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their effort to be neutral, a lot is left out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clean car, and 33-year ownership is a huge plus in my book, but $23K is all the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
